Wow, what a fantastic video. I have a China Doll plant exhibiting curled leaves (no leaves falling off or wilting, just curling) and I've been at a loss to know why. This was so educational and has given me lots more to think about. Thanks so much guys!
I’m totally digging this biology 101 lesson on the functioning of plant leaves. I wish I had paid as much attention in my actual biology class. I would have aced the class.
I have two String of Hearts plants (one is variegated) that have both been doing this, and I had no idea why. The variegated one does this less, but based on your video, I think we need to find the plants a new window with less heat. Another great video! I really enjoy the fact that you guys go into so much detail when you explain why things are happening with plants. Unlike other videos I've seen where only a blanket "give the plant bright indirect light" statement is expected to suffice, you provide the physical facts as to why the plant is behaving like it is. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!
my string of hearts have issue as well ;/ one string is fine, the others get dry one after the other and die, also the tubers get shrinked but i water it as much as it should be..!
Well explained as usual. The curling, drooping and turning of the leaves makes very good sense. About cuticles on plants: i remember the summer of 2018: many plants, for example dandelions became red/purple and got very sticky leaves. Also interesting with the color of flowers. Thanks.
Awesome video! It’s awesome that instead of just simply saying what will fix the problem, you explain in depth what causes it, why it happens, and explain some basic plant biology. It made it so much easier to fix what was wrong with some of my plants! Turns out my room just had very very low humidity. They’re doing better now! Thank you :)
Everytime i watch your videos i feel like i'm doing the research wirk for a plant,, your videos gives a lot of knowledge with a facts, very helpfilul and now i know why the leaf of a plants get curl and i love how you expleak well about the the importance and fhnctioning the stomata i know how it really works...love your videos. Thank you and Godbless!
I have a monstera with leaf curl presently but also growing two new leaves also. This video has helped lots. Thank you so much for the excellent information and teachings you bring to your followers 🪴🌱
Extremely informative as always! I was so surprised to find that my spider plant had curled leaves! First time to ever see that. I watered it and then it went back to normal. Love how our plants tell us what they need as long as we are observant enough.
You are a great teacher. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in such an understandable way. I like that you speak with care of plants as the living beautiful members of our planet! 👍
Outstanding tutorial! I have a new rose that I planted a week ago. We are having an extreme heat wave here in Illinois this week, and the leaves have started to curl and show their undersides to the sun. I've constructed a temporary screen with tomatoe cages and burlap and have used it to cast shade onto the plant. Fingers crossed. The soil is moist enough, so I don't think that needs attention right now - but I'll monitor it. Your tutorial on the physics of leaf curl, even though you focus on indoor plants, is extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I have had this problem with my Scindapsus Pictus Exotica & Philodendron Micans and found no relevant answers despite the usual humidity, water, light requirements. You guys are amazing!
All of your videos are so thorough and greatly appreciated! Have you made a video on Pilea peperomioides? I’d love to hear all of your tips and tricks😊
Wow!! What an awesome video! Not only extremely educational, full of information, but you presented it in a very clear manner. Thank you so very much!!
Love your videos! They're so thorough and well-researched. I hope you can do a video on the leaves curling the other way i.e. from the tip in. I've an aluminium plant that's doing that and I can't figure out why!
Hi, I love your videos....i'm a big fan! Do you have a video on brown spots on leaves that has a yellow line surrounding it? I recently got a dumb cane plant, and within 2 days, the leaves started to curl, and water was dripping out of it; then, within 2-3 weeks, it began to have those brown spots on almost all the leaves. Now, the leaves are straightened, and it's no longer dripping water. But the brown spots are still growing. I have a few plants in my house, and that is the only one with this issue. What is causing this problem, and what can I do to help it? Many thanks for considering my request.
Thank you for this! I bought a dozen calatheas which were uprooted. I potted them right away upon arriving after 4days in extreme darkness, limited air and moisture. I watered them and they started curling after a few minutes. Based on this lecture, the plants in transit got used to extreme darkness and humidity so I think they curled up because they were exposed to water, air and bright surrounding. I think I should have repotted them without watering too much and stored in a low light place. I’ll definitey try to gradually introduce them to new environment next time! Right now I put them in ICU - inside a plastic bag to encourage high moisture surrounding. They’re now 4days on it. I’m just not sure how and when to remove them in that state.
Excellent and very timely for me. Today I divided and repotted a large Aglomenia Chinese Evergreen, it has grown beautifully. I took it outdoors and it was in direct sunlight and in addition the pot was root bound and dry. Perfect environment for the leaves to curl.
This video is extremely helpful! I have a peace Lilly that has completely folded it’s leaves in half length wise, I wait for it to somewhat dry out, and also check it with a moisture probe, I water it at the 4, which is the bottom of the moist section. But then I get yellowing tips which indicate too much water. I am not really sure where to go with this plant? Any guidance would be much appreciated!
I enjoyed watching, very interesting and THANKS YOU🌷 👌🏽 I usually spray with water, it work! It’s too hot for days now. Shattered high weather 39Degree centigrade 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this explanation. My geraniums have been doing that for the last month. Curling their leaves inwards and no blooming. We are in Texas and the heat is getting very extreme (105 F/40.6 C). I moved them to an area with less direct sun and I plan to put more fertilizer to help them. Also not sure if spraying a water mist (besides watering them regularly) over the leaves during the day will help them. What else could I do to help them survive this brutal summer we are having here? Should I put them indoors? I really worry that they will not make it😒
very nice again . Could you guys please please please do video regarding calathea's. Not the easiest plant. I know to moist them, and when to water them. But how to recognise when if the watering of moistering is not in sink with what the plant wants. And as this plant moves it shows you something...but how to interpet it. Thankssss
Would you please consider doing a video on Black Rabbit's Foot Ferns? I am struggling with a Black Rabbit's Foot Fern that is curling and dropping fronds at an alarming rate, and I don't know why. I thought it was the lack of humidity, but I've read several articles in which the writer stated that their humidity level was only 25% and they had no problems. I'm at a loss! I do NOT want to lose this fern! Rabbit's Foot Ferns are my favorite! Please help?
Thanks for your precise and scientific explanations. It's Wonderful really. I also have a Question about this issue. I bought a fertilizer that should be used in form of spraying on leaves. I used it for my ZZ plants several times and tonight I was checking one of my ZZ plants and I saw some leaves are a bit curled. Is that because of the water spray on the leaves? (I do it soaking wet because I want the maximum fertilizer absorption by leaves!) So what is the problem and what can I do about this? Thank you very much♥
You explain so so well thank you , you mentioned pumice in the compost of that first plant , what proportion should I put in my compost for my similar plant , I am learning such a lot from you guys ,
I have a bird of paradise that has leaves curling inwards......I watered, so soil is pretty moist...but still curled...anything to I can do to save the plant?
Thanks for this. Very timely. I have a scindaptus pictus that has multiple vines. Some of the vines have curled leaves and some do not. Can I assume that it has enough water since some are ok? It is in a south west facing window which can get hot in the afternoon. Maybe the sun is too hot? But why only some of the vines have curled leaves while the others are ok. This is a mystery to me. Can you explain?
hi. can you pls make a video about types of SMALL or MINIATURE indoor plants that are good for people who live in apartments that don’t get any direct sunlight also airconditioned all day so the air is very dry. need suggestions on small plants that can sit on a desktop, please. No succulents please.
Ok, thank you for answering "why". But, do we have to do anything to help a plant? Or we just let it be? My new Alocasia Silver Dragon doing it now, i need to know how to help her 💖
Marina Indricane hiii Marina the way to help is give water in room temperature never give cold water.if outside too hot give cheers filters for ur plant.if too dry temperatures buy humidity machines for plant . And if u will know too wet ,too dry and how much temperatures right now ur plant sad or happy it will tell u they sale thing for check it in amazon.i bought from there ,name therm Pro or u can find in shop at ur city.and I fix my rubber plant curling by use small stick rope with stem and block the leafs make it straight . It really work. Hope that can help u
Hi, Thank you for another very informative video. My Aglaonema Osaka (Spring Snow) leaves are turning half way (not the length wise) as well as they are folding upwards (like closing rose leaves). What could be the reason? Please advise. I am from Karachi, Pakistan. Regards.
Thanks so much for this! My Citrus aurantifolia is in full sun, in a terra cotta pot, misted daily and watered thoroughly when dry (in Zone 5) in moisture-retentive/well-draining soil. I wonder if I should water it more frequently on super hot days ...?
My plant just wilt and I almost thought it was dying because I just cut the upper stem for new growth, but when I moved it into shade 10 minutes later it is back again so the hot sun was the reason.
thank you so much. your videos help me make understand my plants better. so when leaves are curling is it wise to water them? I understand we water plants before heatwave strikes. do you advise watering plants in the middle of a heatwave?
Thank you for making such a great vedio.. It was tremendously helpful... Leaves of my snake plant is drooping.., .rather Wilting.... I m unsure about the reasons and how can I treat it
Hey, thank you for the videos, I love them, keep them coming. They are so informative and the format is great. I don't know if this help would be welcome or not, but in this context it's "leaves", you guys. Just thought I'd help out.😊
Thanks a lot for the video! I'm wondering why my Melanochrysum's new leave is curling the other way around. Could you give me any tips for this case too? Merci 🙂
This video helps a lot. Recently I transplanted my marble queen pothos cuttings to soil and the leaves are drooping down. It maybe in transplant stress. What could be done to help the plant suffering from stress?
Hello Swedish Plant Guy, Can you please advise and create a video explaining all the house plants are great for a traveler and isn’t able to maintain the care that it needs for a week or so?
snake plants, succulents, jungle cactus ie Christmas cactus, bromeliads. Ive taken 3 trips during covid of a week each...I watered plants before leaving and they were just fine upon my return.
What a well-explained video! I have a String of Hearts in a south-facing window which is doing this. I live in Sweden and I thought it's good for the plant to get as much light as possible in the swedish winter. So I put it in a south window. I'm not sure if this is right. Could you help me?
Thanks for the in-depth explanation. Would you explain as well why does a leaf curl from the tip? (the second leave on the vine that you are showing). I have Pilea plant that have gone through extreme heat and also exposed to strong light. I have moved it from the window now but the leaves are curling from the tip inward to almost fold in half. Please help!
I would like to know why my Aloe Variegated Tiger Plant has it's leaving folding in (curling). It sits on my kitchen windowsill that gets afternoon sun.
Min svärmorstunga gör så där efter jag har lämnar den på en fönsterbrädda med elementen på bara för att det var en fönster med bättre sol. (Sydläge). Det växer så långsam!
I love that you explain the science behind it. Makes it more watchable
Wow, what a fantastic video. I have a China Doll plant exhibiting curled leaves (no leaves falling off or wilting, just curling) and I've been at a loss to know why. This was so educational and has given me lots more to think about. Thanks so much guys!
I’m totally digging this biology 101 lesson on the functioning of plant leaves. I wish I had paid as much attention in my actual biology class. I would have aced the class.

I really enjoy the fact that you guys go into so much detail when you explain why things are happening with plants. Unlike other videos I've seen where only a blanket "give the plant bright indirect light" statement is expected to suffice, you provide the physical facts as to why the plant is behaving like it is. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!
my string of hearts have issue as well ;/ one string is fine, the others get dry one after the other and die, also the tubers get shrinked but i water it as much as it should be..!
I'm having the same problem with my Chinese money plant. Finding another spot won't be easy
Well explained as usual.
The curling, drooping and turning of the leaves makes very good sense.
About cuticles on plants: i remember the summer of 2018: many plants, for example dandelions became red/purple and got very sticky leaves.
Also interesting with the color of flowers.
Thanks.
you are the far best Plant UA-camr! I feel like in in University listening. Thanks from Iceland.
A very informative videos I enjoyed

Very informative. How you explain the irregularities of the plants is simply great.
You are ALWAYS so helpful and entertaining. Thank you.
Thank you, Plant Guys! Your information is always so helpful, the way you explain how plants work makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the detail
this video specifically was so informative! massive thanks
Thanks a lot . I love your wonderful class. I’m from Puerto Rico and I’m taking care of my plants which I really don’t know how. Thanks again
Excellent. So good (and unusual on gardening videos on UA-cam) to get this kind of helpful insight and education
. Many thanks!
Very helpful video. I learned so much. Thank you!

Very interesting, thank u..
Poor baby… I’m about to move her (my pathos). Thank U. I have enjoyed this learning lesson/video😊
Excellent and very timely for me. Today I divided and repotted a large Aglomenia Chinese Evergreen, it has grown beautifully. I took it outdoors and it was in direct sunlight and in addition the pot was root bound and dry. Perfect environment for the leaves to curl.
Do you have any video on vegetable planting?
thank you for your great content.

Exactly what I've been looking for. May I ask about succulants in extreme heat and cold.
Thank you so much for this explanation. My geraniums have been doing that for the last month. Curling their leaves inwards and no blooming.

Excellent help; now how about assistance and information on leaves curling from the tip.
PLEASE address in Q and A!!!!
What temperature do you recommend
You explain so so well thank you , you mentioned pumice in the compost of that first plant , what proportion should I put in my compost for my similar plant , I am learning such a lot from you guys ,
Thanks for the info, but how do I get them to straighten out? The cause and effect was discussed but the remedy is needed? What should I do next?
Hi
Among extremes you mentioned water availability
Do you mean inavailability ??
I have a bird of paradise that has leaves curling inwards......I watered, so soil is pretty moist...but still curled...anything to I can do to save the plant?
Yes please, I want to know that to. What is the answer, because my plant doesn't recover from that. I did everything to it, but it's still curled.
My indoor white bird of paradise leaves have started to curl under. Do they use this system as well?
Thank you and I am a new subscriber to your channel.
