When mine does that occasionally. It's because I've waited a tad bit too long to water. Should uncurl afterwards.

mines curls as well if i wait to long to water it, do it could def be that. if the leaves feel kinda of crispy it could also be getting too much light

Some leaves are crispy; not a light issues but possibly a humidity issues. It’s happened while I was gone for winter break from my office and didn’t get misted as often as I mist it.

oh yea they are pretty picky about humidity. I’ve finally caved and bought a humidifier

Watering with distilled water also helps with browning leaf edges on Calathea.
