    Could be watering issues it’s either to much or to little stick a chop stick in the soil if it sticks to it don’t water if there’s nothing on it water thoroughly and water like once a week to every other week spider plants love neglect I water mine depending on how hot it is outside once a week if it needs but most of the time I water every other week just to make sure it wants a drink

      Take is down set it in a bowel of water and let it sit for like 5-10 mins pull out let drip hang outside for a min to let it completely stop dripping then put it back up and water another week or so before watering again I normally hit snooze on my watering notification on the app the water it the second time it comes back up you want to let it completely dry or so wait about 4 more days then water

    Usually yellow on spider plants means possible overwatering! Typically brown crispy edges points towards underwatering - I let mine totally dry out between waterings since they are prone to root rot!

      So if it’s yellow and has brown tips that would be what?

      Agreed with Abby! I usually go by the yellow first and would take that as being overwatered

    Looks overwatered. How often are you watering and how much?

    I agree with all the comments that it’s overwatered. The pot looks too big. Too much soil holds excess water the plant can’t use. So, the roots sit in water too long and rot. Spider plants like snug roots in a pot just a little wider than the root ball in well draining soil that includes lots of perlite. It probably needs more light too. They like very bright indirect light or a grow light. It looks pale for that variety. Bright indirect light for at least 8 hours in warmer months will give it darker green colors. See my picture. 🍀🪴

      I’ll order a grow light right now 😊 case I don’t have many areas I can put in indirect sunlight

      Do you recommend changing the pot as well?

      Yes, change to a smaller pot with well draining soil.

      Thank you! I went ahead and did it last night and I noticed how the roots are super thick and swollen!! I had no idea that was a thing

      Spider plant roots hold a lot of water and always look root bound. It’s only an issue if the roots block the drain holes.
