I don't grow this plant, but I do grow the back cross onto N. clipeata. It does seem to take a bit of damage with high light. The new leaves come out a brilliant red, then turn green as they mature, then take on red spots from the light. Pitcher's aren't affected and it doesn't seem to be detrimental to the plant in any way, unless you just don't like red spots (I don't mind.) It's a very fast grower, and since it's crossed back onto N. clipeata (a relatively slow grower) I imagine your plant will be just as fast, if not faster! I grow mine in pure LFS without a problem. My plant produces copious amounts of nectar, so it's often a target for harmless, yet unsightly, mildew. While I have good air circulation, I also have high RH and that doesn't help.
Hope that helps since these plants are similar enough to make a comparison.
