I went out of town for a week in January and came back to my plant looking like this. It was dry so I watered it and it hasn’t gotten better. It was under a mild plant light but I moved it to the window. I don’t know how to help it. The soil isn’t wet anymore just like 5% damp. I checked the roots and they look good. What should I do? Any help appreciated.
How long has it been since you watered? Those plants can get fussy if they are dried too long as they rely on the water to move around towards light sources. They will fold up to help retain water and go into a “sleep cycle” I had something similar, watered it, and a week later it was fully back to normal!

Looks to be a type of prayer plant, if so they’re very sensitive to the cold. If you’re in a chilly climate I would make sure it’s away from any drafts and they love humidity

I have several prayer plants, but one of them is a DIVA. I was unable to water them in mid-December (I was maybe 7-9 days later than I should've been) and she just last week started to unfold her leaves. The new leaves she's growing are opening and functioning fine. The other two prayer plants on similar water schedules recovered fully within two weeks.
