I know absolutely nothing about growing plants. Venus fly trap seeds I got from China miraculously started to grow.. what should I do? botany

I didn't expect these things to grow but they actually did.. I got like 60-75 or so seeds for like 30 cents, not really expecting anything so I am looking for some advice on what do to next. I see alot of conflicting information on the internet.

I got these seeds months ago and left them in the refrigerator to wait til summer. I only know the very basics from quick googling. A few days ago I submerged them all in water to rehydrate them for a day or two, as I read online. 3 or so days ago I scattered all of them in a small Tupperware full of soil I got from other flower pots. I left it inside where sunlight will not hit it, as I read sunlight will damage them as they are small.

Here are some images, do note I only noticed them actually growing today. Planted them just a few days ago.

What do you guys recommend I do? I would love to see them grow into bigger plants, I think these things are so cool. Will they come back next year also or do I need to collect some of the seeds it makes? If so, where do I get the seeds?

Another question I have is what is the correct way to water them, or how often should I do it? Once everyday I have been just taking some water, putting it in the cap and putting my hand in it in a way that makes it form droplets.. its very inefficient but I am worried I will wash away the plants if I don't do this.
