Hey so I have this snake plant, and it looks like there is a leaf inside the leaf, will it ever grow or do they just stay like that?

It will grow. Snake plants can grow slowly

It’ll grow! Snake plants are in the cacti/succenlent family so they take a long time to grow. I rescued mine a little over a year ago and I’m just starting to get snake pups 😀

I think it all depends on the plant itself. This was mine on April 6 of this year

So in my experience it seems to grow fairly quick…maybe it won’t take yours too long💚💚
