I had a friend who just waited til the pod was brown and begin to split. She harvested the seeds and put them in a pot. She set the pot aside in her potting area and left it there. She just checked recently and said she had a couple something that looked like green strands. This process took a year but of course the "strands" are no where blooming size. She only did this for fun and really didn't know what would happen. Got a way to go before blooms.
