Nepenthes Miranda Leaves Turning Red: Normal Light Response

A grower's N. Miranda in a south window (4 hrs direct sun) has leaves turning brownish-red from bright green. New leaves have pitchers. Asked if normal and about repotting (1 part sphagnum:1 perlite vs. coconut husk).

Color Change Is Healthy

Jacob Farin: N. Miranda develops bronze/red with more light. January light was low; spring light stronger → leaves darken. Plant is happy (pitchering well).

Repotting

Not needed for 6-12 months. When needed, use soil recipes from care sheets. Ingredients at garden centers or online.
