My spider plants leaves have been browning, i’m not sure what to do! I’ve trimmed slightly and repotted into a drainage pot any other tips!

Too much water can create brown tips. Too little water can cause dry brown tips, as well.

A smaller pot is better. Spider plants like to be a bit root bound.

Add lots of perlite for good drainage. Let the soil dry out completely before watering. The roots are thick and hold a good amount of water. The plant looks a little limp when it needs water.

Move into bright indirect or filtered light. 🪴🍀

Looks like a pot with no drainage? That could be your problem.

I would first move it to a smaller pot with good drainage and well draining soil, she should bounce back 🙌
