Propagating snake plant

How long does it normally take for a snake plant cutting (taken with leaves) to become a full mature plant? I think my cuttings are 2-3 years old and each one has only one mature leaf (about 4 inches tall) and have just started a second leaf. At this rate it's going to take years for them to mature. Is this normal? Should snake plants grow faster or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Hi Greenleaf

If by snake plant you mean sansevieria trifasciata "laurentii"
Aka Mother-in -laws tounge also in some areas Known as bird nest

Hard to give a good answer as there are (going on memory here :)
about 50 or 60 species in the family

A Pic might help

Sansevieria trifasciata "laurentii". That's it! Did a photo search and that's the plant all right. Don't have a pic yet but I can always take one if really needed.
