Hi, It is a chlorophytum. My variety is called'green orange'. I have had alot of trouble with mine too! The more I let it dry out the better it does. It also seems to be sensitive to our city water. So I started using bottled water and that has helped. It is a relative of the spiderplant- Chlorophtum comosum 'Vittatum' which also gets brown tips. Some of the things that could effect spiderplants could be from low humidity/dry air, salts from to much fertilizer, the room being to cool or not enough fertilizer.The one I have in my east window does much better than the one I have in my northwest window.
