Hi LJ,
Nice N. mirabilis var globosa from Boon. Most N. mirabilis and it's variant's pitcher will get bleach if exposed to strong sunlight. If you want to maintain the reddish pitcher, hide the pitchers, away from sunlight.

However, pls don't misunderstand that the plants will also need to be shaded, actually most N. mirabilis and it's variants grow best in full direct sun when it's mature. Please remember to do this step by step, if not you might hurt the plants when you suddenly move them to full direct sunlight.
