Hi there,


I believe (this is my observation, it's not a fact) that it
has to do with drying out: I mist/spray (what's the word
for this?) these spiderplants every other day until their
leaves are soaking wet. I haven't seen a brown-tipped
leave from the day I started doing this and these plants
are thriving! Some of the stronger ones have become
huge within a year


I'll second the low humidity hypothesis. Our homes are often too dry
for plants whose native environment is quite humid. Misting works
well, and so does placing the pots on a tray of gravel that has water
in the bottom. The natural wicking action of water keeps the rocks
moist, and the water then has a larger surface area from which to
evaporate. This makes a little microclimate of higher humidity for
your houseplants.

Good Luck!
