Humidity

Stromanthe Triostar's leaves curl, which is likely due to improper application of water.

If the air is dry and the air humidity is insufficient, it will also cause Stromanthe Triostar leaves to curl. If the root is dry for a long time, water the taro in time to promote the root to absorb water and slowly supply it to the Stromanthe Triostar leaves to make the leaves stretch and full. If the air is dry, you can also use a small watering can to spray water around to maintain humidity.

Light

If it is exposed to the sun, it will also lose water on the leaf surface and cause Stromanthe Triostar's leaves to curl.
