Spider plant

[Cereoid+10]

You're not doing anything wrong.

Leaf tips turning brown is normal for Chlorophytum comosum. That's the way
it grows in the wild, in gardens or as a houseplant.

Many gardeners have tried to rationalize various causes for it but it is
just the way the plant grows (and dies).

Take a pair of scissirs and cut diagonally to remove the dead tips if they
offend you.
