Why are the leaves wrinkly? I thought I wasn’t under watering but I heard if it’s wrinkly it may be a humidity or under watering issue?

Could be temperature stress. Where does this live? Proximity to window and which direction does that window face

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-08-01

as a general rule these can pretty much always stand more humidity

This one has bright indirect light pretty much all day, I believe the window is a southwest facing window, the spot it is in it doesn’t get direct light however, the room could be warmer

Sounds good! Thanks!

Mine lives in a west-facing window and appreciates the splash of full sun in the late afternoon

Moved her to my room which usually is a little warmer than the rest of the house, I’ll hopefully see some progress with her new leaves coming in!
