I just got this spider plant from my mother-in-law. Is it normal it now has the brown on the end of the leaves? Could it be from moving it to a new location? It didnt have it before.

Following! Mine get brown tips too!

I believe the brown tips could be from the chlorine or even fluoride levels in the water. I have 3 spiders and they all have brown tips, they seem to be healthy otherwise!

That's good to know. I started misting them since they're near an air conditioner just in case .
