My snake plant finally pup'd after two years of doing basically nothing, and I honestly think that's the secret

My snake plant finally pup'd after two years of doing basically nothing, and I honestly think that's the secret. I kept it in a corner, watered it maybe every three weeks, and stopped fussing with it. Now I've got a little offset coming up and I'm actually considering propagating it in water instead of soil just to see if it's faster. Has anyone had better luck with water props for these, or am I overthinking it?
