Curled leafs?

#Syngonium #planttherapy
Curled leafs! She does not look happy, She receives bright, grow light for around 12 hours a day, and is placed near a humidifier aswell, help ? I think it could be no drainage as well, I water sparingly because of it.
0ft to light, indirect
4โ€ pot without drainage
Last watered 4 months ago
The leafs do look overall dry and shriveled, the bottom leafs look leggy too. The tips of the top pink lush leafs are also starting to curl, she used to feel very moist and I can tell she's loosing that a little
@wearenature i found that my Sygoniums did this when I kept them under a grow light for more than 6 hrs a day with the light 12 inches away. I think it was because they were used to less light and I stressed them by changing it too suddenly. Now they are used to it, they sit under the light for 12 hrs a day, happy as can be.
I slowly turned up the light level as the days went on but didnt change the time, how should i adapt her if shes stressed? Beautiful syngos to!
One of her leafs just won't unfurl either!
The curled leaf
This one leaf is super curled too
@wearenature that is usually a humidity issue but can also be stress. I have a couple that didn't finish opening from being mailed while they were sprouting lol
Thank you, the leaf hasn't unfurled since I got her, she is by a humidifier and I do mist her throughout the day, possibly light stressed? Should I reduce the amount of time she's under the light?
@wearenature it could be stress. If you want to see if less light helps then you can just keep it under the light less time, I started with 6 hrs, then went to 8 after a week and then went up to 10 then up to 12. You can also move the light higher or the plant further from the light. Also the card says you have it in a cement pot with no drainage, and you stated you water sparingly to be cautious. That could be causing it issues, it could be thirsty. The cement pot will leech moisture from the soil. Just make sure the soil isn't staying dry for days on end.
Thank you, I watered her last night because her soil was more on the dryer side and moved the light farther, I think I did shock her with light
