# Hi! My spider plant, which is around 3 years old now, is quite big…

_Posted by Rita on 2025-06-29_

Hi!  
My spider plant, which is around 3 years old now, is quite big and keeps growing steadily. However, every new leaf comes out with a brown tip. It also never given any baby plants. I’m thinking this is related… do you have any idea of what might be causing this? I’ve tried a couple different places but it doesn’t seem to be the light…  
Thanks in advance

Hi!! My spider plant is right by my window and grow light and she’s very happy! I water her about once per week and spritz her with water almost daily (night or morning bc I get afternoon sun) - I hope it helps!
