Think for sure this is what I have. And from reading found that I have been removing the seed's or the flowering all these years. Was told by someone it might trigger the dying of the plant if it bloomed. Well my question. How does the seeds have to be cared for to propagate? Do they burst free from the flower but it's not really a flower?
At what point can I remove them and sow them to get them to grow? Thanks so much

Leaving the flowers and seeds on a Chamaedorea will not harm the plant.

When the seeds have dried, you can try to sow them, although the success rate is very low. You need a sandy potting mix and bottom heat for germinatiuon. In addition, if you do get them to germinate, they grow very slowly. You may run out of patience long before you get a sizable plant.

Good luck!
