My spider plant is not looking good. Originally I had it inside, but had a cat chewing on its leaves so I moved it outside. Today, I bring it inside to do the fertilizing and notice it’s got some browning leaves. What can I do to help her?

    Are you using distilled water and bottom watering? Spider plants can get sensitive to regular tap water and also being too watered

      No, I haven’t been bottom watering. I’ve just made sure her leaves don’t get wet. I fertilized her today. Hopefully she will liven up.

      I would just bottom water and then cut off the brown tips. Sometimes they are just dramatic for no reason

    Too much direct sun will cause browning but it’s still healthy.🥰

      Ok thank you. She’s not in direct sun. I think the brown leaves are where my cat chewed on them. 😡 Would it be ok to clip off the brown parts? For now I have her on my mantle after fertilizing her.

      You put the plant outside. The amount of light filtered through a window is amazing compared to putting a plant in the shade outside. It got immensely more light than it was used to and burned the tips
