too much light can do that, so can an exhuberance of trich's, and at least one type of pest will cause that.

Pics probably would help but I believe root problems,heat stress or high humidity can cause leaves edges to curl up.
I had the same problem and it was caused by roots not getting enough oxygen due to over watering.

No, leaf edges do not curl upward from lack of o2 or from high humidity. Heat stress or low humidity will do that, as will russet mites.

Op, post a pic.

Not sure, but that's the answer I got when I had this problem. the plant was a couple weeks old, checked roots and found 1 brown slimy root I cut off and fixed itself afterward.
But I'm not an expert lol.

You were given bad council. This is leaf structure 101 stuff.

You're probably right there so much bad info online won't be the first time.
But I'm here to learn.
LittleT keep us posted if you fix the problem.

Thanks.

Plant is likely attempting to retain water due to heat stress and/or low humidity, but yes pics would help.
