Cut off the seed stalks of your F-M-Not and just rub them between your hands wherever you want the seeds to grow for next year. Of course--many seeds (which are close to invisible) will have fallen down right where the plant was growing (just b/c you touched the stalks) and will come up later this year and bloom next Spring. YES! The new plants come up later in the summer/Fall (it's a true biennial...) and form clumps of leaves that just live right through the Winter.
They transplant easily--either in the fall or in early Spring. Never an issue!
DO NOT dig up or pull up the old plants as there will be plenty of new plants all around it. it will look like a black, dead mess next Spring--but just bide your time....IF there is no sign of life in these dead clumps by April--just get rid of them.

I have only had this HUGE Clivia for 2 years. My G-friend that gave it to me has a sun room, and they happily grow and bloom there--with almost NO care and almost NO watering.
I have no such light source--so mine just sat off to one side of a window. If I remember correctly--you are not supposed to water it during the Winter months...kind of a resting period... Then--after February--you start up as normal. I put mine outside in close to total shade for a couple of weeks and then moved it to bright AM sun and now it gets a bit more sun in the afternoon. Seems to like it....It is blooming!

I will see if I have a How-To saved on it.....NOPE!
I do have it printed out....but you can Google it too....
