2"x2" is too small for a pup. It must be a tissue cultured plant.
Don't knowwhy it's red.

I cut most leaves off - ones that were brown or yellow. Today a new leaf is up almost a ft since this A.M.!!!!!!! It's growing again!

They do look a little pink... I have 9 new pups. (10 total, one pup around 4" survived the winter and stayed green;) I love my zone!!) I'll take pics tomorrow

This plant is from Lowe's so it could be miss marked

Mine had a lot of pink after the winter freeze. Pink is normal for Ice Cream, I can pull back some of the old dead stalks off the P-steam and it will expose a lot of the pink color. So I would say the pink is pretty normal.
