Brocchinia reducta Reproduction: Seeds or Pups?

Derick asks if Brocchinia reducta produces flowers/seeds or relies on pups (asexual).

Unknown—We've Never Seen Seed Set

Seeds sold commercially, but we've never pollinated flowers or seen seed pods. Unclear if two genetically distinct plants needed. If so, only propagation is division.

Good growing!
