@LordPachycormus it looks like your leaves are drying out from a lack of humidity and air flow. If it’s cold where you live and you are running your heater, it can take the humidity out of the air and dry the plant out of its near the heater or vent. Stick it in your bathroom on the counter with the door closed while running a hot shower for 15 mins. That will help get the humidity up and hopefully, uncurl the leaves. For a long term solution, move it away from any heat source or direct line of air flow and buy a humidifier or alternately put your plant on top of a pebble tray filled with water to increase moisture.
Mine did this too. I eventually put it in the bin. Too much drama. I love stronanthes, but even with all my humidifiers and pebble trays, my house just doesn't have enough humidity.
