Natal Plum's new leaves are red

I'm worried about my Natal Plum which has always been relatively hardy. It went through a short period of overwatering due to my daughters, and some leaves got brown on the edges. It seemed to recover from that. Now, all the new growth leaves are reddish. There are lots of them, but they have this maroon cast to them.

We did have a few unseasonably hot days--80's and humid. It's been in full sun until after 2:00 pm, and then in partial sun until late evening. I water it when the top of the soil dries out.

All ideas welcome. Thank you.
