Looking back thru your last few posts i see the same thing in all the pics. Anytime you get leaves curling up on the edges, it normally means the heat is too high or the humidity is very low. Are you checking the room temp at the plant tops?
BUT you do have a ph prob also. Looking at the soil in your pots, i see no perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage, which may or may not also be causing some distress.
I'm going way out on a limb here with a guess. It looks like the soil might be "potting soil"? which isnt even soil, but a mix of organic stuff like peat-bark-moss- and the like. This stuff can be very acidic {low ph} even without any nutes added. What brand name of potting soil is it?
Get the heat down under 90f, and humidity above 40% would be a good starting point.
Somehow you need to find out what the ph is setting at and shoot for a ph between 6 and 7.
Just curious...are you adding any nutes or additives to the soil either when mixing the soil or when watering?
