(for the almighty line eater)

In my daily newspaper, there's a column devoted to plant
problems and hints. Some time ago, I remember reading about
spider plants and what causes the tips of the leaves to
turn brown. Believe it or not, the biggest cause was over-
fertilizing them! Over-watering can also be a factor. I
now add plant food to my spiders every 6 weeks instead of
once a month, and I can see a difference. 

You should also be sure the leaves aren't touching the glass
in a window, if you have them there. Glass gets cold in the
winter and warm in the summer, and this could also bother
the leaves.
