mine's never had seeds, or I never noticed them, not sure on germinating the seeds, but propigation is simple, when It gets too long for me, I just cut the strings off, lay them in some soil, the part I cut off anyways, cover it up, and slightly water it, roots in no time, real simple to propigate by cuttings.

Are they true seed or swollen round beads along the string of leaves? I don't have one now because we moved and I had to leave it behind. I would cut the string after the first or second (ususlly the second bead leaving the growing tip attached. If you have any type of growth hormone, dip the beads and the short string in the hormone and barely bury the beads. Dampen the soil. Don't overwate. Keep the cutting just moist until you see growth. Once you see some grown you can lightly fertilize the growing shoot and increase the watering. It's been quite a number of years since I've had one so I'm not too familiar with the seeds. The general rule of thumb is that tiny seeds are barely covered with soil or just sown on top and then gently pressed down so as to make contact with the soil. You can provide extra moisture by covering with a glass jar, propping skewers around the pot and placing a plastic bag over the pot and securing it with a rubber band. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help.

these are seeds.....they look like the seeds off of a milkweek plant...you know, the kind that when you pop them open they blow all over the place....that is basically how i noticed that i happened...i saw these fluffy things all over...i remembered it flowered, but this is the first time it had gone to seed...i will try them and see what happens...if they work i will have some plants to share...i have never tried the cuttings, so wish me luck...:)
