Streptocarpella Info?

Silver Spring, MD(Zone 7a)

Greetings All,
I've been away from DG for a little bit, but still enjoying flowers. I was recently given a streptocarpella plant!! (I love it:)
I was told that the seen pods are barren, but I'm uncertain. Does anyone know if these plants can be propagated by seed?
I've already started a few plants for friends, they seem to be doing ok. But I thought I might like to try them from seed.

Thanks All,
Marlene

I think I've seen streptocarpella seeds offered in the Gesneriad Seed Fund before.

All I know is they grow a thin twisted seedpod.There were lots of them on the basket I had outside last year.
