Sad spider plant! My spider plants leaves are droopy, yellowing, and turning brown. Ive been following the care schedule in Planta for watering. Its in my bedroom that has a NE facing window and bright indirect light. I think maybe the pot is too small ? But i am still a newbie with house plants and wanted some advice before i repot him.

Yeah little buddy is root bound. Needs a good repotting. Whenever you see roots coming out from the bottom of the pot, it’s good to repot. Shoot for an extra 2-4 inches in diameter

All the babies could be taking energy from the main plant as well!
