The spider plant looks pretty healthy, they are pretty resilient plants put it in a spot where it gets lots of sun and water sparingly. The other one is a philodendron white wizard it looks like a watering issue gently take it out of the pot and examine the roots look for roots that are squishy and brown, this means rot.

White parts of plants lack chlorophyll, and so the plant will kill them off eventually, since they take energy without helping produce it. Almost like self-pruning. If the roots are fine, I’d put it back in the pot and keep an eye on it.

The Philo browning is likely from insufficient light exposure since only the white portions are affected. Variegated plants have increased light requirements due to having less chlorophyll. If these needs are not met, the plant will senesce the white portions to reallocate the resources in that tissue. Increasing light exposure will halt this process. If it was a root/watering issue, green portions would also be affected.
Avoid water sources containing fluoride for the spider plant. If it gets enough sun, the leaves will be perky. They droop without sufficient light exposure. Best of luck! 💚
