You say the windows are always open. This plant needs warmth and should be under cover in Winter. The Little plantlets, if you have any. can sometimes be rooted by floating them on water, on a warm window sill.

hi Sandra i'm Sandra too.
spider plant.
needs sun light. in winter needs a little heat.
does not like standing in water. make sure an hour or so after you have watered that you drain off any excess water. and don't water again until its dry. check by putting your finger into the soil to see if its wet. if you have only just repotted the plant it will take a few weeks to settle in.
