# Hey guys!! I got a spider plant recently and I repotted her a few…

_Geplaatst door Ivy op 2024-09-05_

Hey guys!! I got a spider plant recently and I repotted her a few nights ago and gave her a big drink with some miracle grow. Yesterday she was looking glorious and had sprouted some new growth stems for her babies. But today I came home from work and her leaves are browning and soft at the end :( I'm wondering if it's because I shouldn't have gave her plant food? I don't water her until the soil is dry so I have a hard time thinking it's overwatering?? I'm thinking maybe her new growth is making her redirect her energy to the new babies and less to her leaves?? Any advice I'll add pictures of her, her new stems and her brown tips. Much appreciated 👏 thank u

Also!! She gets really good indirect light all day in our kitchen!! Would say medium light all day and before the plant food she seemed to really love her spot on the shelf

Maybe pot is too big?

### Ivy reageerde op 2024-09-05

Hmm I gave it a pot that's only a bit bigger but by a crazy amount and it was definitely getting crowded and too big for it's old pot :/

Not by a crazy amount \*

Repotting can damage roots. It’s acceptable to see a few leaves deteriorate. I have this variety of spider plant. It recovers well.
