Help!! My marantha is trowing a tantrum. It was growing tons of leaves for weeks, but they curled up and haven't really opened. I got her in the spring of this year and haven't repoted her yet.

Humidity maybe?

Have you been misting the unopened leaves? Sometimes they need a little extra help opening and water will ease the friction of leaf-on-leaf

I will definitely try that. I just determined that it needs humidity and to be watered more! Based on a Reddit post and some other resources. I noticed that more of the already open leaves closed and that concerns me lol, thanks!

Repot in new soil, in a clay pot.
