Pitcher stem turning red, normal?

The vine in the leaf leading to the pitcher in my Ventricosa is turning red. Is that normal? That's what I'm wondering. The same is happening a little to my deroose alata, but just barely. They've been getting all the same light.

I am pretty sure the arrow pointing in the pic to the leaf is burnt. I think I spritzed it with water when in direct sun, oops.

I’m no expert but my N. Ventrata did that when I sprayed it with a tainted spray bottle. Mine has never changed but if you take care of it it’ll survive.

that part is called the tendril.

From the pictures shown, I do see that it is a little bit lower on the stem; it could just be that that leaf is getting old.

Forgot to mention that the rest does look a bit yellow and that could be bring out the tendrils color. Based on this, you could be over watering it a little bit based on the picture.
