The amazon sword will probably take a while to become established (a couple weeks is normal for me when I set up a new tank). After that you should see regular growth.

I'm not sure about the water primrose as I'm not familiar with that common name. Stem plants usually take less time to become established and start growing than rosette plants like swords. It's usually a matter of days before seeing new growth. Growth rate also depends on the conditions in your tank. More light, nutrients, and supplemental CO2 mean faster growth.
