Dracaena fragrans leaves curling inwards - any advice please?

in Plants
I've had a small Dracaena fragrans for about six months. It's with a group of other plants about two feet away from an east facing window, not near a radiator and I've only watered when the top couple of centimeters of compost are dry. (I moved the plant to take the photos!)
It was fine up until about three weeks ago when some of the leaves started to roll slowly inwards. There are a couple of new leaves emerging so the plant is not dormant. I'm wondering whether it just needs more light or maybe I should let the compost get bone dry before watering again.
If there are any houseplant experts out there I'd appreciate your thoughts please.
Thank you in advance!
