For some of mine it means they are thirsty.

I agree with the comment above. My Calathea Crocata's (Eternal Flame) leaves curl up when it's thirsty, they do it to conserve moisture.

Mine only do this when they’re thirsty! But they can curl and get wilty if they’re too cold too!

Thirsty plants will fold or scroll their leaves to conserve moisture like a scindapus, an aloe or a pothos. Others close up every night like an Oxalis Triangularis and prayer plants. 🪴🍀

Thirsty and/or need more humidity
