Yes, put the scape into a glass with some water. Freshly cut the bottom end of the scape. Add a bit of sugar (and perhaps some very dilute soluble fertilizer) to the water. (Or look up home-made cut flower food on the internet.) Change the water frequently. Place the glass where the scape can get daylight. If the pod can last five weeks or longer then the seeds may be considered mature enough to plant (the longer the better).
