For me, humidity around the leaves and heat (both of which are provided in a terrarium) will speed "pop up time." But it can also just vary with the variety, or maybe with the time of year, or with other factors that I haven't figured out yet LOL. I've had "ears" in as little as 2 weeks, but I've also successfully propagated from leaves that took 10 weeks to produce a little plantlet.

Starting in water is something I've had little luck with, although I know some people swear by it (and I think they add soil gradually to the water so the "water roots" can adjust). Some people root in trays of perlite.

Here's my favorite method of starting leaves.... clear plastic salad containers, with holes in the top for ventilation and holes in the bottom for drainage.
