overfertilized
Too much manure
Overfertilized describes plants or soil that have received too much fertilizer, causing damage rather than growth—burned leaves, stunted roots, or chemical buildup in the soil.
Figuratively, it suggests excess nourishment or attention that becomes counterproductive: an overfertilized imagination, overfertilized with praise.
