Seeds, are very  small, light-weight and  wind-dispersed. The  seed  is  very  fine  and  light brown  in  colour.  The  seed  takes  about   4 months   to   mature.   The   easiest   way   of harvesting seed is to cut the branched fruiting bodies in late  March (autumn  in the southern the hemisphere). Allow  the   capsules to open in  a closed  paper  bag. This  will ensure  the seed is not lost through wind or other means.
Tylecodon are not difficult plants to grow and are realatively free of diseases and pests. They can easily be cultivated outdoors in warm to  temperate,  winter  rainfall  regions  where frost   are  not   severe. The   dwarf   species, however,  are   better    cultivated   indoors, containerised and kept in a greenhouse where water   and   temperatures can be controlled. Plants are best cultivated in a well-drained,  sandy,  mineral-rich  soil. Water  them sparingly  in  winter and less  to almost nothing in summer. Propagation is easy and can be done from seed, steem cuttings or division.

Sow the seed in a seed box. DO NOT cover the seeds. Simply sow the seeds in a coarse sand topping, with a well-drained substrate underneath. Water with a fine mister or a fogger once a week during winter and once a month in summer. The seeds will germinate readily during the cooler period of the year. After about two years, the young plants will be about 2 - 3 cm in height and can be pricked out and planted in bags. Always ensure that plants are grown in a well-drained medium. To grow from cuttings , the best time for taking cuttings is autumn. Select cutting material at least 3 cm in diameter, dust with sulphur, kept for about two weks to callus, and then place cuttings in clean sand and use bottom heat if the winters are very cold. Keep cuttings moist until well rooted, cuttings usually take about one year to form a strong root system, when these cuttings can be transplanted into permanent containers, in well-drained soil
