    There's a chance that the minerals in your water are causing the problem. You could try switching to bottled water and watching for improvement. The plant might also be root bound - is the pot very small, or are there roots sticking out of the drainage holes? It might benefit from being repotted.

    This is quite easy. Simply remove the baby spider plant that is dangling on the end of the stem, and plant it so that the air roots are just below the soil surface. Potting soil is best when planting into a container. Keep the plant lightly moist at first, and it should take off in no time. Keep out of direct sun. Bright diffused light should be great. You can also divide the parent plant transplanting it into another container with similar soil.Good Luck

    Sometimes, even with correct watering, a plant can suffer from an infection. These are quite tolerant of dry conditions, and prefer under-watering to over-watering. You can apply a small amount of wettable sulfur, and this will clear it right up.

    Here is an article for more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/spider-plant/spider-plant-care-gardening-tips-for-spider-plants.htm

    This is, typically, a sign of overwatering. These are somewhat drought tolerant, and will like their soil to dry out between waterings. You should sprinkle a little wettable sulfur onto the soil before the next watering, and this will help clear things up a bit.

    Matt - For indoor potted plants, it is never a good idea to re-use potting soil and never a good idea to use garden soil. Indoor potting mixes should have only peat moss, coir, and perlite as ingredients. Otherwise, you may get various contaminants such as fungi and fungus gnats that you do not want indoors.

    When potting, dampen the potting mix first and then go ahead and put it in the pots. Once the plants are in the pots, then water slowly and thoroughly.
