Rip my string of bananas, plz help if you can

I’ve taken the advice of many on this appβ€”watering only when the windows close, transplanting her to a well draining mix (~40% perlite 60% succulent soil), looping some of the vines up… and today she looks like this :( I’m worried she may actually be over-watered? She also doesn’t get as much sun as she used to, thinking that may part of the reason?

She’s deteriorating so rapidly at this point, I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do but welcoming any advice πŸ™
6ft to light, indirect
3” pot without drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
I would put her near a window with more sun. And water her when you feel the soil is dry.
I agree with Maria. More sun and hold off on the watering until the soil is dry.
@FamouslyAlula83 will do!
Really? More sun? I wouldn’t give this too much sun as it is healing β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή.
Overwatering
The most common reason for a string of bananas plant deteriorating is overwatering. This plant is used to dry places and can’t handle too much water for its roots. Excess water leads to root rot, causing irreversible damage to the plant's health.
@maci.in.bloom yeah, I’m worried I may have drowned my poor friend. Keeping her in a west-facing window with soft indirect sunlight for now, hoping she dries out a little 😭
