Save seeds
You might have the best luck using rootone and potting soil. Put the pot in a zip type bag, sunny south window. When you see new leaves, you have roots.
Don’t know if water rooting will work. When in doubt, I plunk cuttings in water….if you don’t see roots in 1-2 weeks, it most likely isn’t going to happen.
