I don't know what's wrong, i bought the plant a month ago...

#StrobilanthesDyeriana
10ft to light, indirect
8โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 10 months ago
It looks like 2 factors insufficient light and low humidity indoors. They lose their vibrant color if they don't get enough light Andy chance you could move her closer to a window?

And the curling of the leaves like that is low humidity.
Here are some things that increase humidity.

1. Add a humidifier, but only use distilled water in it.

2. Add a pebble tray filled with water below your plant. But make sure the pot is never in the water. As water evaporates it increases humidity.

3. Cluster plants together. It will make water evaporate from your leaves in a process called transpiration. It effectively creates a mini microclimate with extra humidity.

Never mist, it does not increase humidity but will cause fungal and bacterial infections.
