How long does it take for a snake plant propagation that is in water to root?

It took about a month or two for mine to get good roots

Took mine a good 6 weeks. The first minth there was nothing. Then out of nowhere it had a bunch of roots all at once and i was able to pot a couple weeks later.

Yeah usually at least a month to start seeing roots, and an additional month or so to have enough to confidently transfer to a pot :) patience is key (and regular water changes)

Yes, sansevieria are quite pokey in their development.
