Strange thing here. I bought this plant a couple years ago already potted and fully grown. There's been no change in location, care, or anything but the past couple months the new leaves are getting a lot smaller. It's still growing quite quickly, putting out new leaves they're just a lot smaller than I'm used to.

One of the pups it put out around the same time I noticed this change had red patterns on the leaves, which I had never seen before on any pups or on the main plant. I dug this pup out a while back to pot it separately, and the new leaves of the main plant are still coming out small.

Any ideas what may be causing this?
