Long story short, I just bought this lovely plant at home depot about a week ago and it is a beauty! It has several spiderettes and looks great hanging next to the window. When I first brought it home, it was bone dry so I gave it a good dose of water. For the first week or so, it was placed a few feet away from my east facing window. However, because some of the leaves have been drooping/bending, I was advised by one of the users on this forum to place it next to the window and to water it every few days.

Besides the bent leaves issues (which I think shall pass), there have been random grey/black/brown patches on random 3-4 leaves on the plant. It's not a big deal but I'm not sure if this is a light/water quality issue, or if I should be repotting it? When I look through the drainage holes at the bottom, I can definitely see that this plant is root bound. Since I'm still a newbie when it comes to houseplants, do you suggest that I move this to a bigger pot, separate this plant into several smaller ones, or just leave it alone for now? I think that there are several spider plants in this plot and not just one.

I have a reverse green thumb for as long as I could remember....so any advice is helpful lol! Thank you guys for your help. Thank You!
