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.

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.
