Why does the deformation/curling (shown by the red circles) happen for the leaves of my Japanese loquat? It has been a few days since I bought this tree, and the young leaves on the crown have risen in my growth room.

  • Temperature: ~24 °C
  • Humidity: ~70%
  • Light: 18 Hours LED (No Sunlight)

    I think its just part of the serrated edges. It looks healthy.

  • Can I know why isn't it getting full sunlight? Fruit trees especially ones native to tropics require sunlight.

    Also the cause curling of newer leaves is the lack of water. Is it getting enough water to compensate for transpiration?

    Because a big wall has covered all the windows of my house. Also, I live in a city with cold, dry winters, and hot, dry summers. I try to have regular watering for my plants, but I think watering can be the case.

That curling looks like a cell division error or damage to the leaf caused the tip to develop differently. It's of no consequence, your tree is fine. (BTW, loquats are one of my favourite fruits :))
