# Help! Why are her leaves curling? And she has stopped openeing and…

Help! Why are her leaves curling? And she has stopped openeing and closing? She was was really healthy!!! But heavy and kind of a double plant so I slipt it into 2 and I think maybe she hates me now? Is she just in shock or did I do some real damage?

Check for spider mites

She's clean as a whistle. You can see in the 1 picture she was happy as could be before I decided to slit her into 2 and repot. Not pests, just really angry :(

I think they curl when they try to conserve humidity... I have a red maranta that is having a temper tantrum at the moment and has lost several leaves but I just potted it from water... Hopefully someone else can weigh in!
