Hi, Krysten - If the light seems less intense to you, then it probably is even less than you realize. Most folks tend to overestimate available light.

I suggest that you water your plants less frequently. Unless a plant is very small or very badly potbound, it should not need water more than about once per week. I know there are different techniques for watering, but light waterings every couple of days tend to lead to poor root development, if not root rot. It is generally better to water more deeply, but less frequently.

Older, well-established plants are often more resilient than less mature plants.
