My spider plant is not doing so well. Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?

Does that pot have drainage holes, and the pot may be too big it should only be about an inch bigger than the roots

It does have drainage holes and it was doing a lot better in a smaller pot before I moved it to a larger one

It could be shock from repotting it if you did it recently, but it might not be a bad idea to move it back and see how it does

Thank you!

You can also get a light/moisture/PH meter on Amazon really cheap to help it reestablish

Spider plants are pretty hardy thankfully, so just try to be consistent with your watering and let it recover. Mine have had some struggles, but they are happy and healthy now! 😊
