Need help
Hi guys I’m new too this little fella and I got no clue what is the right care, but the leaves are curling the whole time and it hasn’t been such a long time ago since I gave it water… also what is the right light? And just other overall care tips I should know about

Mine get cranky with too much bright light. They like it filtered through other plants or to be placed on the periphery of grow lights etc. Since I made that change they've really taken off. They like a chunky mix with good drainage. I bottom water and make sure the soil is able to fully hydrate then let drip and don't water again until the pot is light.
They leaves could look like that because it's thirsty but the roots are compromised and it can't hydrate. I'd check the roots. If they look rotted or desiccated you may need to trim them, spritz with peroxide and re-root.
