Does anybody know what is going on with my snake plant? She keeps getting these scratches and holes and I don’t know where they are from. Any advice would be a great help! Thanks in advance!

This mostly looks like mechanical damage to me. This can be normal but they become more prone to this with overwatering — so do make sure you’re letting it dry out completely, like bone dry, before watering thoroughly.

It couldn’t hurt to check for pests, too. It could be mealys compromising the leaves

Doesn’t seem like there are any bugs but I’ll keep in mind with the watering.
