There can be a few different reasons that can cause leaf curling. Plant sucking insects like spidermites, aphids and scale can cause this, as well as low humidity, low light, over or under-watering or high light intensity (too much sun) Hot air.

Check for any pest, many tropicals can adapt to low humidity, so make sure you are watering all the plants correctly. most like to get close to drying out before watering them thoroughly so it comes out the bottom (empty excess water) Different plants can have different watering and lighting needs.
