    Hi guys ... I have an indoor spider plant in a nice pot with plenty of room still. It is growing lovely but the tips are going brown and dying off.

    A friend suggested using boiled water that had cooled down to water it insterad of tap water. Can you confirm that this is OK and will not harm the plant.

    Thanks

    Hello LittleWeed :) I have several and am always taking cuttings and I only use rain water which I believe makes for a much healthier plant.

    No need, a little feed with baby bio does the trick every time for mine. Give it a try!:)
