Sometimes they close or open early or late. It's kinda like sleeping in, and mine sometimes does it too.

That or the leaves are drying up

Ok thanks

They might be getting too much light and don’t like it. They’re supposed to stand upright at night and open during the day. Curling means they’re starting to dry out

Oh ok

Low humidity will cause the leaves to curl. In other words you need a humidifier not more frequent watering.

Gotcha will try that

### KJM ha commentato il 2025-04-14

Too cold, too dry, too wet, low humidity can all cause the leaves to curl.

I've also noticed my thrives with distilled water 🙂

Too much sunshine will do that
