The app doesn't know when you're able to water your plant, so just ignore the reminder until the next time you're able to water. This is a pretty cut and dry case of an under watered plant, and the fix is an easy one: water the plant 😉 Water slowly until it starts to pour out of drainage holes, then stop and let it dry out again. The leaves are still green, they're just curling up from dehydration, so it should perk back up rather quickly once it has a nice long drink.
Also, I noticed your plant card said it's in a pot without drainage. Is this the case? If so, I'd highly recommend getting a pot with plenty of drainage holes at the bottom. Drainage is essential for a plant's health. It not only helps the soil dry out faster (very important to avoid root rot), but also allows excess fertilizer and mineral buildup to be flushed out.
@FortifiedKanono you're welcome! Btw, I would actually hold off on repotting until it bounces back from the under watering and leaf curl. Repotting causes plants a lot of stress, so it's best to do it when your plant is in the best possible health. Once the leaves uncurl and go back to normal, you're good to go on repotting 😉
