Haven’t had a spider plant but I think it might come back. The roots look healthy. I had a calathea that looked like this after I forgot to bring her in for the winter and she bounced back eventually. Took a while tho

I’m treating a new spider plant that has a black fungus problem. I cleaned off all her soil and soaked her for a bit in 1:4 hydrogen peroxide and water—an idea I never would have tried before if others hadn’t recently talked about Anyway I saw your post and looked it up. It says that spider plants can tolerate it for a while but not long term. One reason being lack of nutrients. One would think they might explain more because why couldn’t you fertilize the water… but they must somehow need soil to balance their root uptake)
