Why are leaves curling on my plant?Updated 3 years ago

If the leaves of the plant are curling, first check the soil moisture. Leaves can curl to slow down the transpiration process. Curling leaves may mean it needs more water or has dried out too much. Check the roots for viability. Remove any dried leaves in this case and trim back the stem to live growth to stimulate new leaf formation.

Another guilty culprit is spider mites. Sap-cucking insects like spider mites and aphids hide on the underside of the leaf. They can cause distortion or curled leaves. Treat with Neem Oil or insecticidal soap to remove these from your plant. But hurry, they will destroy a plant fast!
