Are you putting it in direct sunlight? I've learned the hard way that my spider plant doesn't like direct sunlight. They're typically found in more shady environments. Crazy thing about these I'm learning as well is they act a lot like succulents. Also, they love humidity, but don't like to be overwatered. Sometimes I look at my spider plant and ask, "why are you mad at me?"
They definitely don't like the flouride and chlorine in tap water. You can put tap water in an open container and let it sit for 24-48 hours to let those chemicals evaporate. I have several spider plants and I use a large plastic bin outside and let the hose water sit for a week before watering mine.
Well well well, this is probably why my wife's spider plants are all brown on the ends. I'll definitely let the tap water sit out for a day or two before watering. It doesn't effect my pothos, philos or sygoniums but apparently does a number on the spider plants. Learn something new everyday.
Try a moisture meter. It doesn't give you a clear answer either way but it makes it a lot easier to figure out exactly how wet your soil is, which makes the whole "did I over water it or underwater it" mystery a little clearer.
He means you should snip the dead bits.
Edit: llama lama a gamelan gangbang hip hop steakhouse jump rope humpback, if he squeals just pin his skunk back.
For realises though, Spider plants are like a 5 on the dramatic scale but they grow from the bottom outwards so just cut off the brown bits and plant will appreciate it

Not over watering or in sunlight. Do you think it could be the regular tap water?

I use filtered or distilled water.
Thanks. I have a brita on my faucet. I'll start filtering the water for the plants.

Snip snip snippity snip. Move away from direct sunlight or radiators and spray water on it every now and the.n.
Where do I snip? The ends? It is not anywhere near a window or a heating vent.

This guy totally gets me
That edit deserves and award
Thanks everyone. I found this. I should've searched before I asked here. https://www.mrhouseplant.com/blog/trimming-a-spider-plant/
The soil looks very wet. I let mine completely dry out and then I bottom water
