Anyone know why the leaves might be curling?? I use a hydrometer and water when it’s dry. It’s about 9 feet from an east facing window in Chicago. There’s a humidifier in the room. Also there IS a grow light under the mantle/shelf so the bottom part of the plant is exposed to that during the day. I also noticed that some of the leaves are starting to sweat. Help!

If they’re getting enough water then usually lack of humidity.

I agree. I would soak the whole pot in a bucket of water or the sink. Then let it drain thoroughly. And mist a few times a week. Hopefully that will bring her back to full beauty.
