Why Is My Plant Withering After Just One Week?

Hi everyone,I need some advice about my plant. I bought it one week ago, and for the first five days, it was perfect. However, just this morning, I noticed it started to wither. Does anyone know what could be causing this and what I should do to help it recover?Thanks in advance for your help!
4ft to light, indirect
Last watered 1 year ago
Water it. She’s thirsty. You want to water at least 1 per week
Your info card for it says it’s in something with no drainage; could be overwatered. Or, could just be new home stress. I’d try to get a look at the roots to make sure everything’s good under the hood.
@BeatificWaxvine Tack I agree with @HisLobster Jenn your plant containers should always have drainage and it is a new plant to you home, give it a bit of time to accumulate. πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ƒ
@Popcornjoness thank you Aja for the advice
@HisLobster Thanks Jenn
@CourtlyKingfern Hi Evelyn,Thank you for your reply. I should look into the drainage matter since some of my pots don't have this option. Did you receive my message yesterday or the day before? It was about one of your plants, which I think you named "Chick" or something similar.Thank you!
Hi, Tack! How much light is your plant getting? The more light it gets, the more water it’ll need to sustain itself. (:
@sarah10orio Hi Sarah, I would say 8 hours, but it is mostly indirect natural light from the sun. The window is about 7 meters away. Sorry if I am not clear. I can send you pictures if you don't mind
@BeatificWaxvine Absolutely! Glad to help!
@BeatificWaxvine Tack I did but I am not sure this app works the best to deliver reply’s as I have several folks I answer questions or respond to but never seem to get my messages.. πŸ§πŸ€” the chick chick you talked about I have only had a short time and I am new to succulent plants but so far this plant has been easy for me. Maybe dead tomorrow but today it’s fine ! 😝
@CourtlyKingfern @BeatificWaxvine Question: how do you send β€œmessages” in this app? I’ve only had it a week or so and I’m still learning…
@HisLobster unfortunately, there is no such option
@HisLobster Jenn just how you are doing now is the only way I am aware of at this time and I really hope that changes soon. I have people I talk to that I cannot find messages two days later. And miss others posting on the same day as I do. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
@CourtlyKingfern Gotcha. I thought I was missing something that could come in really handy. I agree, hopefully that changes soon. I’ve noticed the app is a little quirky about finding posts and comments, as well. πŸ˜•
@CourtlyKingfern Btw, I was just skulking about your oasis, lol, and Kenneth, your peace lily, is flipping gorgeous!! I’ve never seen one so large and lush!
@HisLobster thank you Jenn. I received this when my father passed in 2018. I have actually split that once and have one named Leroy. Kenneth was his first name and Leroy was his middle. He would roll over in his grave if he knew I named one after his middle name. He hated it. Bless his heart. I have a lot of plants named after my family members who have passed. Tink, (motherβ€”in-law, Melvin my father-in-law, (Ficus tree) I got when he passed in 1988, My husband Bob, passed this last November 13th. Been tough.. that’s one of my reason for almost 100 plants.. trying to keep busy!! And my mind busy..
