I just recently got my ventrata, and noticed that it was turning yellow/red on the leaves. However, it doesn't appear to be sunburn because no browning has occurred. Need help figuring out the issue.

3 hours of direct. 12-3 pm. The rest of the day is indirect.

Looks to me like sun bleaching

Probably more light than it was getting prior. Your light levels seem legitimate to me.

I would probably leave it be and see if the new leaves come in better looking.

If it's evident on new leaves you have another issue.

The new leave are greener, but have a reddish coloration more towards the stem

Looks like it's acclimating to brighter light.
Mine does the same thing.

I still think it's just bleaching.

Does it have any pitchers?

Excellent.

Keep the Miranda warm. Summer outside is fine but don't let it get cold at night or growth stalls

Easy grower and highly under rated imo.
