    From my research it shows that Spider plants will do ok for a short time, then die or rot.
    It may be best to stay away for Spider plants in your tanks.

    You may be overwatering your plant.
    Indoors now it will need less water then when the plant was out in the outside location.
    The soil should be well draining and even allow to dry slightly between waterings.
    If the roots sit in soggy soil it can lead to root rot, browning leaves may be a symptom of this.
    Make sure you are checking the soil before watering instead of watering on a schedule.

    Sunlight has a big part of your Spider plant blooming and Spiderettes forming.
    12 hours of good sunlight a day will help the plant.

    Since you do not want to repot the plant, I would suggest that you temporarily remove the spider plant from the pot and divide it. This way you can still keep a majority of the plant in the pot it is currently in and have an extra plant to put in a new pot that you can keep or give away to a friend. Information on how to divide spider plants can be found here: https://www.wikihow.com/Divide-a-Spider-Plant

    It may have been overwatered. Is the soil well-draining? When it comes to spider plants you should water them well but do not allow the plants to become too soggy, which can lead to root rot. In fact, spider plants prefer to dry out some between waterings.

    The leaves should grow out and the damage will likely become less noticeable.

    Here is an article that will refresh you on the care requirements.
