My usually chill turtle freaked out when I added new plants—should I remove them?

I’ve had my red-eared slider turtle for about two years now, and she’s always been pretty laid-back, cruising around and basking without much fuss. Recently, I decided to spruce up her tank by adding some live aquatic plants to make it feel more natural. At first, she seemed curious, but then she started swimming frantically and hiding under the filter for hours, which is totally unlike her. I double-checked the water parameters and everything seems fine - temperature, pH, and all that. I even tried rearranging the plants to give her more open space, but she’s still acting stressed. I want her to be comfortable and happy, but I also want the tank to look nice. Has anyone else had their turtle react badly to new plants or decorations? Should I just take all the plants out, or is there a way to help her adjust? How long does it usually take for turtles to get used to changes like this?
