If your leaves creased where the stem meets the leaf base, then it got too dry. That's what causes them to crease and "fold down". The leaves don't recover on their own when they do that, but one lady here in town and her granddaughters felt sorry for their plant when it did that with three leaves when they forgot to water it and they made little "splints" for the leaves using masking tape and popsickle sticks to straighten them back out and she said those leaves then went ahead and lived all summer. I'd never tried that one!
