Rebecca soper prefers strong light. Yours is not getting too much light. When getting enough strong light the pitchers turn to dark red (and also the leaves).

Not getting enough light, are you mad lol. The greenhouse gets full sun from 8am till 7pm all day. The leaves are dark brown to black. I have seen them with green leaves and dark red pitchers,so what is that too little light.

The first photo is from winter last year and the other is from spring this year.

You fellows are funny!  Look, when the temps go up, the amount of red in the plants tends to go down as heat breaks down the red materials.  Also, upper growth tends to be less color as well.

The plant actually looks perfect for the conditions!

The Irish summer happened last Saturday. It was nice.  We celebrated the sunlight by putting up parasols and hiding underneath them as we thought the thing in the sky was a meteorite heading our way.
