Hi. The leaves of my billietiae are all pointing inwards. Does anyone know why might be causing that and if I should be concerned?

I know they move a fair bit to follow the light. Do you have a grow light below the plant?

#### Irene replied on 2024-03-17

No but that is helpful! Thanks.

Could you tell me a little more about its care? It’s lighting situation \& watering schedule so I could help a little more? The yellowing leaf at the bottom could be a few things \& the leaves curling inward \& pointing down could also be a couple of things.

Sure! It is about 8 inches away from a southeast facing window. I let it dry down about 50-75% before watering. About I month ago I flipped it out of its growing pot to look at its roots-not a strong root system, and I don’t think it liked being disturbed so that was a bummer.

when leaves point down like that it typically means they are getting too much light and are facing away to get less. I would move it away from the south facing window.
