   From what I hear, D. adelae is the easiest Queensland Sundew to
grow. From my experience though, I find D.prolifera easier, but
I don't have any of them down pat (that is I'm still missing something
about their culture). Also, D.adelae can handle brighter light than
the other two. Whether it will be happy were you placed, only time will
tell.
