Check for if you are overwatering! Also if you kept the plant too close to the window where it gets harsh direct sun - that might cause it too. Otherwise just let it do its thing. We tend to worry, but they are pretty resilient little things!

Chunky soil !!! i recommend for every plant parent and make sure it’s well draining. The roots may be rotting so id to a repot and refresh

Also, Spider Plants don’t like chlorine in the water. Will get brown tips even if you do everything else right.
