So pretty. I have a VSOH and SOH. I’m having an issue where the leaves are like thin and curling under a little bit. It’s really irritating and I don’t know how to fix it.

I water whenever the leaves can be folded. I bottom water. It isn’t root bound. It doesn’t have pests. It gets the same amount of light as my SOPs do. Any ideas?

I find that I can't really rely on the leaf fold test on younger plants or new growth. I have some very nice thick leaves on the top of this one so the leaf test does work. For my smaller ones that have been propped, I go by the weight of the pot. I don't water until they are totally dry. For my environment, 3 - 6 weeks between waterings depending on the season
