If you notice this detail on the leaves, these may be the reasons.
The plant spider is a very common plant even in the apartment, as it is easy to grow, known especially for its long pointed leaves.

One of the most common problems is when the tips of its leaves begin to dry out and consequently become browns. This can happen for several reasons.

Let’s see what they are and how to remedy them.

Stress: If you have just purchased a spider plant or have drastically changed the environment it is placed in, the plant may be affected. In these cases it is a natural process, after a few days of adaptation the plant will heal itself.
Water: When it comes to giving your spider plant water, finding the right balance is essential. Too much water or too little can undermine health. For this reason, it is important to choose a draining soil and give it water only when you notice that the soil is completely dry.
Fluoride: is a component that is very often found in tap water, and is not suitable for the spider plant. For this reason, when watering, prefer distilled water.
Temperature: the spider plant is a plant that adapts very easily indoors and its ideal temperature is between 20-30 degrees. When temperatures rise, for example in summer, the leaves of the spider plant begin to dry out. In such cases, move the plant to a bright area but away from direct sunlight. Also spray water regularly on the leaves to keep them hydrated.
Fertilizers: Fertilizers are beneficial for plants as they provide essential nutrients. In the case of the spider plant, however, it does not need high doses: prefer organic and natural fertilizers, which will be provided once every 3 months.
