I’m no expert on pink princess but from my experience using clay pots, they always suck up a lot of the water from the soil, not allowing the roots to get the necessary amount of water they need.This happened a lot with my tropical plants. Hope this helps

You said you moved the pots? If so it’s stress from my eyes. Or it’s dropping new leaves (not sure)
