I've noticed that the leaves on mine curl under when I over water or they
don't get enough light. I now keep the in an east window, and have them
in a very porous mix with lots of perlite. I allow them to become
slightly dry before watering. I fertilize with 1/2 strength miracle gro
monthly. They are now growing like weeks and are never without lots of
flowers. Are the leaves of a good dark green color? If not give more
light. You should probably consider repotting into a looser mix. Just
remove some of the old soil ball before repotting. Do not put in too
large a pot. They don't have very big root systems and overpotting seems
fatal due to waterlogging. Even large plants do well in 4 inch pots.
