Too much sun?

Hi #GregGang my curly spider has always been a happy plant and is one of the few that does great in my north facing window. Maybe some west sun sneaks in but not much. She hangs right in the window and has been repotted atleast 3x because she grows so much. Currently 4 curly babies on her too. I noticed this brown on the side facing the window. Have you ever seen this before or had this happen? I’m assuming it’s the sun as she’s happy here in the winter too. Should I just try to rotate often and leave her be? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SpiderPlant

It could just be old leaves dying off, I put mine outside in the summer and they love it and never brown
Can't honestly troubleshoot your lovely curly spider, but I'm the queen of sunburned plants so I can see your concern. The easiest way to determine if it's sun damage is to move it to a place where the sun's rays don"t touch it. I'm constantly moving plants around because the sun doesn't stay in one projectory all the time. The plants placement in May can become a nightmare in June. Good luck. It really is a lovely plant.
I wouldn’t think sunburn because mine all love to be hanging in the direct sunlight outside. They grow amazingly in the summer.
Isn't it something that our plants learn to live with us just as we learn to care for them. I'm always amazed that, in certain circumstances, the very same plant can live in conditions that our own would scoff at. Of course, with prayer plants ie..they all need moist soil and shade.😎
But others get comfortable with our choice of care. Golly, I love plants. I was depressed for years after my husband's death. Indoor plants and creating pollination gardens where there was once grass has instilled new life in me. I could weed and work in the gardens for hours, ignoring all else. Oh, and I love bees too.πŸ˜ƒ
