How do you guys get sansevieria cuttings to grow roots? These lazy things have been sitting in water for two weeks

I let them callous over for a few days beforehand.

They take a lot longer than 2 weeks to begin rooting, in my experience. But if you leave them in the water they'll root eventually.

As a side note, the babies will not have yellow leaf edges. This type of sansevieria reverts to an all-green variety when propped this way. If you want to keep the yellow edges, you have to prop them by letting them bud off the main root.
- oh I did not know that, thank you
- @inasaba @simon Spot on reply. I started a single cutting from my daughter's plant. It was at least four weeks before any roots developed. And yes, the resulting plant lost its yellow edge.
