Expert Response
There are a number of reasons for browning leaves on spider plants. The most common reason is overwatering and/or build up of salts in the soil. If over fertilizing is the cause, cut back and use a very dilute fertilizer infrequently. If build of salts is the cause, the easiest solution is to repot it.The following website summarizes the reasons nicely.
