Almost all of my indoor plants are going brown on the tips of the leaves. How do I prevent this? I have a spider plant (Chlorophytom) Peace Lilly , and an Aluminum plant.

water according to plants needs, most of your plants can do bright light but not direct sunlight (filtered sunlight is good)
you may have your plants near an air vent, this can brown the tips quickly and make your plants unattractive. They may also be simply lacking humidity, set each plant on a tray of wet pebbles for a while and see if that helps.

brown leaf tips on indoor plants have a couple of causes... one is lack of humidity.... like the other poster said, if it's near a vent, that movement of air willdry out the tips in a hurry...
the other worst cause is the water... or rather the chlorine and floride IN the water... or worse yet, the softened water of some homes..... start using rainwater or spring water to water your plants and see the difference when new sprouts appear....

Leaf tip browning is a symptom of inconsistent watering.

The roots are too crowded. Repot them in bigger pots.
