MissySue said:Because it got so dry, and your spider plant is not pot bound, it looks like a few of the stems tipped over after the soil became soft again from the watering. You can carefully prop them up again, by putting a little potting mix as a stabilizer to hold up the stems you want propped up. I wouldn't mess with it too much, only to fix it up a little bit in the pot.
Doesn't look to me like its dead- it just to be re-oriented! No worries, I agree with Will, it should be fine!
This is what I was thinking. I even saw that some roots became exposed on top of the soil so I thought maybe I should try repotting it to put it deeper. I did try to add more soil and prop the plants up but I only made it worse lol.
I have seen exact same thing happen to aloes that have been abused. When the pot gets knocked over on its side or when leaves get smacked around by pots and pans. Its as if the stem right under the soil become bent and loose and it can't be stood straight anymore, and then the leaves eventually just lay down. And while the plant will still lives fine, it just doesn't look right.
I think my next spider plant I will make sure not to move at all and water carefully in place. Seems this is a real delicate plant.
