When you propagate AVs from leaf, how long is it taking for your first little ears (leaves) to come up?

My leaves usually get pushed to a low light location because growing space is prime real estate and they just aren't a priority. However, recently I put down a couple of leaves together with some Columnea cuttings. Because the Col. cuttings need medium light to do well, the AV leaves also got more light than usual. (They are sitting in the same tray.)

I've got "ears" in 5 weeks. I *think* this is noticeably faster than usual - although I've never really timed it. I tend to shove them in a corner and forget about them for months and months. By the time I check in, they are a dividable size.

How about you? How long are yours taking?
