What type of dracaena is this ? I got it from my mother-in-law and she said that the leaves are supposed to do this. I have had this for probably a year and it’s has gotten bigger and is doing phenomenal so the leaves curling are not from me under or over watering it … it has been in bright indirect light since I got it, I have 3 humidifiers plus a open top 55 gallon fish tank so my houses humidity sits about 45%-50% I just repotted today so it is growing great.

Maybe a young fragrans-type Dracaena? It looks healthy, and some of the slight twisting can be normal in certain cultivars.
