Why is my (indoors) spider plant looking so lacklustre?

[Liveonyournerves]

It's on a shelf in the bathroom by this window, which doesn't get a lot of bright light. But there's a window in ceiling above.

What am I doing wrong?

It looks pretty normal I'd have said.
It needs the brown leaves gently pulling out if they'll come, or else snip out. And perhaps it's got too many spiderlings - cut the 'umbilical' off at the base and then either pot up the babies straight away or grow their roots a bit more in water. If the mother plant gets too tatty, you'll soon have some fresh young plants.

In my experience spider plant roots grow to fill their pot pretty quickly so may need repotting in a larger pot.
Mine get depleted if allow them to breed at this time of year. I let the ones in bigger pots do this but not the smaller ones.
I remove brown or straggly leaves.

Thanks guys! I went to someone's house at the weekend and their spider plants looked so healthy and lush by comparison. The leaves were far less 'spindly'.

What does 'allow them to breed' mean?

And whilst I'm here, I've got a money plant that is doing well but I haven't repotted. Do you know if they also do well being repotted in larger pots?

I'm really nervous about repotting plants and messing them up! I'm not a natural green fingers.

I don't think you can go wrong with potting up a spider plant.

As to not letting them breed - I assume that means to snip out the runners before they start making spiderlings.

I feed mine very occasionally. My original and one of its offspring is on a north facing bathroom windowledge - and that faces onto the gap between us and the next house so very low light. Another is in the living room, where we have the curtains closed a lot in summer to keep out heat. And I've shoved some excess youngsters into a border outside, they're acting as summer bedding .... I think they're not that bothered about light either way.

One thing... there are two main types of spider plant, I think mine are the other sort (white in the middle, then getting darker green towards the edges, pale runners). So it's possible yours have slightly different requirements, perhaps.

I don’t think it looks bad! I have lots of these (all descended from one plant!) Mine tend to do better away from very bright light. I water them once a week & feed them every 2-3 weeks (baby bio)

I wonder if they don’t like the bathroom conditions? I also have one in a bathroom & it’s not doing as well as the others. Maybe they prefer dryer air.

I’ve recently moved mine from the bathroom and it’s doing far better, it’s darker green, growing stronger and generally much improved

Ensure it’s not sitting in water so should be in pot with drainage hole within the main visible pot if u see what I mean; feed dilute seaweed once a week.

Chuck away any excess water draining into main pot.

I was wondering if it was overwatering.

imo the runners are the best thing about a spider plant!

to me it looks like it's either too wet or too dry.
and maybe in need of a feed.
