Sometimes the plant will offset, making another cluster of leaves near the original cluster. These clusters can be cut from the main plant and rerooted by planting them in well draining soil and giving them plenty of water.
They can also be propagated via seeds, but the process is much more challenging. After the blooms are spent, you may notice a pod form where the bloom was. Once this matures and dries, it can be gently plucked off the plant and crushed in the hand. Pick out the duff from the pod and what's left are the tiny, pale red seeds. Sprinkle these seeds on moist soil and give them light, but not direct sun. Keep the soil damp but not soggy. You should get germination after a week or two.
