Hi 👋 this is scarring from either moving the plant, touching the plant a bit too much, or it could have happened if you repotted recently. It will grow and the scar will stay there for a while but it doesn’t mean you should cut the leaf off or anything like that. Just be mindful of snake plants when you are potting/moving them they really don’t like to be touched and this scarring is a result of that. Hope this helps!

Rule of thumb for all snake plants: touch them as minimal as possible. I see now you’re holding it in the picture, try not to do that too much as this can cause scarring on the tips of the leaves as well. :)

i did have to repot when i first got the plant because it was in this awful pot with no drainage from lowes. but thank you so much! that makes a lot of sense.
