That looks like the type of hanging pot that doesn't have a hole at the true bottom surface, but recessed about 1/2 inch above that, which allows for 1/2 inch of standing water. I'd say put a hole in the true bottom of the pot, more light if possible. Haven't had a plant die in one of these pots since I started putting "real holes."

Spider plant leaves should be more upright. Frustratingly, once they bend and fold, they won't stand upright again.

Great pic, Tarev! Those water-storage roots can't tolerate muddy-ness, or standing water.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
