Broken Snake Plant Leaf
Like we said previously here, unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to have the leaf on a snake plant break off as they are rather fragile. But you should know that it basically only happens when something else has gotten in contact with the plant.

The important part is what you will be doing about it when it happens. Here we actually recommend you just cut off the entire leaf. The broken of peace will not grow back and the are will instead just be called and become discolored.
Cutting the leaf off will also give room for new leaves to come forth and with time you might have an even bushier appearance on your snake plant. A win-win in our opinion.
Make sure that you keep the plant in a sunny spot after you have cut the leaf off and also provide the soil with plenty of water. That will be setting it up for the best possible environment to grow in and successfully recover too.

We find that the best thing to do for a snake plant that has had a damaged leaf is to just bite the bullet and cut away the leaf. It will not be recovering and instead, the color of the leaf will disappear, and left you will have a white leaf that looks rather dead.
Because we have cut away this leaf however we leave room for new leaves to come forth and start growing there. This will make for a bushier and eventually a healthier plant too.
Setting up the plant with the best possible environment to recover in as well will be important. This means that the soil should be well watered and healthy as well. You should definitely fertilize the soil a little bit after you have cut the leaf off.
This will just kick start the process of growing back to what it once was. But just look for any other discoloring on the other parts of the plants. That will usually indicate the plant is being stressed.
