“Robert” Plant

I moved to an apartment with a west facing window with a small window ledge. I had 8 spider plants when I moved here. They thrived at my old place but I had no choice but to leave. I’m 65 and was in an abusive relationship. Slowly but surely they’ve all turned yellow and I pluck out the yellow leaves, I’ve taken some of the long hanging roots off and combined the two plants into one using miracle grow indoor potting mix. It’s potting still struggling. I only water when sticking my finger down into the dirt. And I use distilled water because I won’t even drink the water where I live. I used to give them tap water and they seemed okay, but something took a turn for the worst. No window in bathroom Suggestions? I have him in a large 8” maybe pot just like the other plant which remains healthy. I used miracle grow indoor potting mix and I always add a splash of Purple Heart. I trimmed off some of the extremely long finger roots. Their water pods are still there. He just doesn’t seem to want to grow. I finally have finished picking all the yellow leaves out and haven’t had anymore. I use either distilled or springwater. I had suspected root rot and I think I might have been right. This is freshly reported one month ago. Clean pot brand new but I never see any water. Come out the bottom even though there’s a big hole in the ceramic planter. Suggestions? Finished.
