Here’s my spider plant. For a while I had him placed outside because I was afraid he wasn’t getting enough sun, and then I noticed he had some black tips on his leaves; what does that mean? I usually have succulents so I’m used to drowning them in sun. The photo that’s not zoomed in is how I have him placed in my plant light, is that enough? The others are what’s happening to him.

Might need more water. Mine gets watered when the soil feels damp but not dry. Kinda like hair does when it’s almost dry.

It also gets bright light. No direct sun.

Thank you! I’ve just been following Planta’s water schedule

No direct sun, might be too much for the plant! And double check the soil before watering. I noticed Planta’s schedule is sometimes off, even if I’ve updated all of the plant’s info. I use a moisture meter, but you can check with your fingers as well.
