Yes! Too much water pal. Notice how it's drooping so hard? The leaves are full of water which is weighing them down. Let her dry out for a few days before you water her. When you're not sure whether or not you should water, stick your finger about a knuckle and a half deep and see if it feels wet. If so, you don't have to water it. If it's dry, give her the normal watering you should be. (Irrigate the plant until runoff is seen coming from the bottom holes in the grow-container.)

You DO have drainage holes in the bottom of that cup, don't you?

That's how my plants look when they're thirsty not when they're over watered, especially the stems and the way the top is tilting over.

I guess they are a bit dangly rather than droopy. If you catch my drift.

Yeah, I do, lol. My leaves and stems will still be firm when over watered, opposite when thirsty.

If the soil's dry like you said it was, I believe the answer is obvious.
