Overstressed Plant? Help & Tips For Plant Stress Recovery

Hey plant parents! Ever feel like you're loving your leafy friends a little too much? I think I might be in that boat right now, and I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what's going on.

The Situation: My Drama Queen (or King?)

So, I have this [insert plant type here] that I've been super proud of. It was thriving for a while, putting out new leaves, and just generally looking happy. I was so excited that I may have gotten a little too enthusiastic with my care routine. I started watering it more frequently, thinking, "Hey, happy plant, happier owner, right?" I also moved it to a spot with brighter light because I read that [plant type] love bright light. But now, it's looking... well, not so happy. The leaves are starting to [describe symptoms: drooping, yellowing, brown spots, etc.], and I'm starting to panic. I'm worried I've overstressed it, but I'm not sure what I did wrong or how to fix it. Has anyone else experienced this? What are the signs of an overstressed plant, and what can I do to help my leafy buddy bounce back?

The Watering Woes: Did I Drown My Darling?

I'm starting to suspect that I may have gone overboard with the watering. I know that overwatering can be a major issue, but I guess I was so focused on making sure it had enough water that I didn't realize I was giving it too much. The soil feels pretty damp, even a few days after I watered it last. Is this a classic sign of overwatering? What other symptoms should I be looking for? I've heard that root rot can be a serious problem with overwatered plants. How can I tell if that's what's happening, and what can I do to treat it? I'm really worried about the roots being damaged, as I know they're essential for the plant's survival. I've been trying to research online, but there's so much conflicting information out there. Some sources say to let the soil dry out completely, while others say to water it a little bit. I'm not sure which advice to follow! I'm also wondering if the type of water I'm using could be a factor. I've been using tap water, but I've heard that it can contain chemicals that can harm plants. Should I switch to distilled water or rainwater? Any advice on watering techniques would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I'm providing the right amount of moisture without drowning my plant. I'm also considering repotting it into a pot with better drainage, just in case the current pot isn't allowing the water to escape properly. What do you guys think?

Light Bright, Plant Fright: Too Much Sun?

The other thing I'm wondering about is the light. I moved the plant to a spot that gets more direct sunlight, thinking it would be beneficial. But now I'm wondering if it was too much of a change. Could the increased light intensity be stressing the plant? The leaves don't look sunburned exactly, but they do seem a bit faded and droopy. I've read that some plants can get stressed if they're moved to a new environment too quickly. Is that what might be happening here? Should I move it back to its original location, which had less direct light? Or should I try to gradually acclimate it to the brighter light? I'm also wondering about the duration of light exposure. Is it possible that it's getting too many hours of direct sunlight? I know that plants need light to photosynthesize, but I also know that too much light can be harmful. I'm trying to find the right balance, but it's proving to be a challenge. I've been observing the leaves closely, looking for any signs of stress, such as scorching or discoloration. I'm also considering using a sheer curtain to diffuse the light if it seems too intense. What are your thoughts on the ideal lighting conditions for [plant type]? Any tips on how to provide the right amount of light without stressing the plant would be super helpful. I want to make sure it's getting enough energy to thrive, but not so much that it gets overwhelmed.
