I have been raising spider plants for 40 + years. Your plant is pot bound and is probably too cold. Mine get yellow like this in these cases. I water a little (less than 1/4 cup for plants twice this size) almost every day. They get the water from the end of the dog bowl :)
Mine love morning sun, but they are pretty forgiving when the roots have room. They like some sun, but not a full day's worth.
My friend waters here with a healthy watering twice a week. Hers do brown more often than mine, so they are probably under watered.
