I don't know what does that or if it's just the plant. I had one with the same reddish growth. It faded and went to green.

It seems to, but in some cases, it causes deformities or less than optimum leaf development. I need to know.

I didn't experience any problems at all. As soon as the new growth matures, the color go's away.

Could it be sulfur?
"Problem: A sulfur deficiency will manifest itself as all-over chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), usually starting with the newer leaves and at first may look like a nitrogen deficiency.
The parts underneath the leaves may take on a pinkish red or orange color. The buds on a flowering plant may start dying off. Unlike most other deficiencies that cause chlorosis, a sulfur deficiency will start at the back of the leaf and move it's way forward as opposed to starting at the tips."
