If they don’t unfurl after a decent amount of time, take a damp cloth (not wet) and rub it from the top of the leaf down, should unfurl in 20mins or less. If not you can do it manually

Water, humidity or lighting may be too low. I have a couple of syngoniums that had all rolled leaves from me forgetting to water them more often than the others. One did fine after watering. The other started unfurling leaves after I moved it to higher humidity outside where it also got brighter light.

External moisture on the leaves will help in the short term.

Pluck one off and unfurl it to see if you find any bugs inside hanging out.

That’s a good point! I forgot about the spider mites infestation on my neon syngonium. They like the new tender leaves.
