Why is the new growth curling?

My dear Pilea’s new growth is curling up and I don’t know why. The leaves are very healthy but are just not opening up flat. I can’t think of what would cause this, any ideas?

Just kinda how it is try making sure your watering it correctly and giving it appropriate light it usually self corrects

Also if you have near an ac that can do it as well. Mine did the same, once I moved it the leaves look better

It used to be but now it’s not. It’s probably been 2 weeks since it was moved.
