Curling up means it’s conserving water. Wrinkled leaves and limp stems are signs of under watering. You can bottom water by soaking water from the bottom after putting the pot in a container/tray of water. Stop watering and let excess water drain after all of the soil is moist. Water again when the soil is completely dry.

I’m assuming the pot has drainage holes. Change to a pot with drainage if needed. 🍀🪴
