I've been wondering the same thing and would appreciate a note if you get
any information.

I took care to pollinate each flower stalk from a different one when mine
flowered a couple of months ago. Soon they became covered with seed pods,
which I left to themselves. When the seeds were obviously gone from the
stalks I removed them.
Evidently the seeds did very well left to themselves - I now have a dozen
or two 3" A. Crispii scattered throughout the tank. :)
(Apologies to everyone for my IceCap message this morning wherein I
included an entire, mercifully small, digest. Still getting used to a new
email package...)
