I recently potted a spider plant (a coworker dug it up and gave it to me) and I noticed today that some of the leaves are folding.
I have it in a window that gets some mostly indirect sun, but gets more direct sun for a few hours in the evening. I have it in a pretty small pot, which possibly is causing the folding, but I have a much bigger pot that I'm going to put it in when I get a drainage hole drilled in it (hopefully tomorrow).
I read a few things that said spider plants don't like a lot of water, so I wasn't giving it a whole lot, but then I started reading conflicting information saying that they do like a lot of water, so I got the soil pretty wet to see if it helps. I'm using tap water that's been mixed with Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food, if that makes any difference.
I'm mostly wondering why the leaves are folding, but I'm also wondering what the actual care needs of this plant are. There's just a lot of conflicting information and I'm pretty lost.
