My spider plant is not and has not been doing well, Iām not really sure why though, Iāve tried adjusting what I initially thought was wrong but itās still having issues, I recently found all of its leaves completely drooped, like they couldnāt hold themselves up anymore, is this under watering? Overwatering? Or something completely different? It also has had the tips of its leaves turning brown since I got it a couple months ago
when the tips of leaves turn brown, it usually indicates that the plant needs more humidity or water in general. you could invest in a humidifier, use a pebble tray, mist, or place near other plants to increase the humidity. my spider plant has done well in a bathroom if you'd want to try that too. hope this helps! :)
0 gillningarThank you! Iāve never considered humidity as I live in a very humid state but maybe my apartment itself is dry, I have it next to quite a few other plants and I unfortunately donāt think I could put it in the bathroom, do you think a spray bottle every so often would help for mist?
0 gillningar there's a lot of debate about if misting actually works, but if you spray around twice a day i (personally) think it does help. the brown tips won't turn green again so you can just pinch them off, but misting should help keep the newer leaves green.

Do you have a pic? What's the watering schedule? I agree the brown tips are humidity issue, almost every time. I personally mist my high humidity plants. Contrary to people online nay-saying, misting does help, I've tracked it with my hygrometer.
0 gillningarI donāt currently have one but can get one, I currently have it tied up with yarn and have watered it to hopefully help with the drooping as that helped a different plant of mine, and I now plan on getting something to help mist it!
0 gillningar Gotcha. Limp can be caused by either over or under watering. If its under you should notice a difference by this evening.
