Anubias seeds

[Garhan]

Has anyone here grown anubias from seed. If so what was the process and how long did it take. When do you pull the seeds from the parent plant? Any additional information would be helpful as well.

I hear it's very, very difficult to get Anubias to flower let alone get them to produce seeds. I imagine the production of seeds and germination of them would be equally as difficult. Here's some information that might help from the old plant mailing list.

Also it helps to have two or more A nana; the flowers are protected against
self fertilization by the spathe.
By the way, the A. nana grows mainly submersed in the natural habitat; as
a matter of fact it grows much better under water than emersed.
