Hi meha! Welcome to the GardenHelper!
You've gotten some sound advice on the spider plant,, They are tough cookies,, I used to live in KS also,, And since KS/MO has the same type of weather,, wellllll Been there Done that!
I agree just let the brown ends dry up then snip off and tidy your spider plant up. It will be fine! :wink:

Hi Meha!
Diane (angelblossom) has posted a few posts about her devil's backbone.
Here is a link to one of them - I'm sure she can give you more information when she comes on here after work today.

Yep I love the devils back bone meha
you can click on the Blue Diane's Devil back bone above and see mine.
It will also bloom ~ tho' blooming is rare unless it's planted in the ground year round which can't happen in MO unfortunately, OR Very very very mature,, It can take years for a DBB to bloom inside and I'm Still waiting,,
IT makes a nice house plant,, and a nice patio plant in your
spring and summer,,,, Give it dappled shade or morning sun afternoon shade. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Don't allow soil to dry out completely because it will start dropping leaves.
Bight light(inside) helps retain red tips; avoid contact with milky sap if you break off or intentionally cut off a piece of the plant ,, the milky sap can be toxic,
Here is a picture of the Bloom
