drosera capensis help

hi everyone. i understand that drosera capensis is supposed to be the easiest CP to grow, so this is a little embarassing. well, my drosera capensis: i give it distilled water up to about 1/8-1/4 of the PLASTIC POT in a tray, keep it outside where it gets sun in the morning and evening but not the afternoon. now, in the summer, it experiences day time temps of 70's-80's and nights of high 60's to 70's. it catches plenty of insects and there is a baby drosera capensis that i beleive has been produce by the runners of the mother plant. while on vacation, the weather in our area suddenly plummeted to day of 60's to night of as low as 45 for 3 days. when i came back the leaves were dark red and all of them including new leaves that hadn't sprouted were turning brown. 1 single leaf sprout is slowly growing back. what should i do? what did i do wrong? i had the plant for 2 months and it was fine!
