I have a spider plant but the ends of the leaves are turning brown. I have no idea what the problem is or what the plant needs, can you help?
Thanks

Spider plants along with a few other are susceptible to brown tips, it's pretty common. Hard-water use can can brown tips, as well as over-fertilizing, keeping the soil too wet or dry for too long, along with low humidity.

To help minimize this, keep your spider in a pot that's only about an inch larger than the root-ball. Use distilled or rain water. Only fertilize in the spring and summer months using half strength once a month would be fine.Water well when the soil has had a chance to pretty much dry out first.
