Give the plant good light, CO2, and a shot of nutrients, if possible, while
the seeds are developing.  Soon, they will come off the plant and float
away.  The embryos are enclosed in a spongy envelope at this time.  Soon
the envelope will disintegrate, and the embryos will fall to the bottom.
They are ready to be planted in sand or soil.  The plant should continue to
flower and produce seeds for a number of months, if given good growing
conditions.
