Too much west light?
Are these spider plants getting too much west light? They're are awfully pale.

@WandrngDudette is this a new spot for it? My spiders like the light of a thousand suns, so I don’t think it’s too much light. My only other guesses would be nutrient deficiency, or maybe that pot is a bit too big? Mine like to be snug in their pots.
@MamaLinne they are new to my oasis. So, it is a new home. They were recently potted so I dont think its a nutrient deficiency... maybe the size thing though! I cant remember what the roots looked like to really say for sure. Thank you!
My mom had these as far back as I can remember and I have 2 also. One thing I remember my momma doing was rotating them from the hanging so they got all sides about once a week and hers had lots of babies. I try to remember to just turn mine on water schedule and they seem to be thriving with good color, and lifted up, growing through my blinds , and I use bottled water for my indoor plants because we have hard water , and I just never know with the city water so for my sun loving plants I do use bottled water. My grandkids take a drink or two and leave it sitting and I just grab what they had so it’s not wasted :)
@WandrngDudette I’ve read that when leaves are pale, limp, or curling lengthwise into a U-shape, it's likely thirsty or underwatered. The soil should be watered when the top 2 inches feel dry. Additionally if the plant is not receiving enough bright indirect sunlight the leaf color will fade. I have quite a few spider plants. The one inside is not by a window but I have it under a grow light and the leaf colors are bright and stand out. I also have two outside on my patio and they are also very colorful so I’d say your plant needs more consistent watering and more sunlight. I water my spider plants once a week.
