Anacampseros telephiastrum produces seeds quite easily. What's more, these seeds have a very high germination rate. However, I would still propagate from cuttings for two reasons:
1) It will take a long time to grow the seeds. Succulents are notoriously slow growers when compared to many other plants.
2) The variegation on the leaves (the pink part) won't be passed down from parent to offspring. You'll end up with a bunch of plain green versions of this plant.
The advantage, of course, is that seeds are fun! But I wanted to give you those warnings anyway and I'll post a link here to propagating via cuttings. Happy planting!
