This can be accomplished by seed. Cuttings are not an option. Seed can be sown in late autumn or early spring. Seeds ripen in October and November of each year (southern hemisphere) and are contained in inflated, papery capsules. The capsules must be dry when harvesting the seeds. Sow the seeds about 1 cm deep. Cover with a layer of coarse, sieved sand. The soil medium in the flat sowing pan must be well-drained, sandy loam. Keep moist and well ventilated. Allow plenty of light. The seeds will germinate in one to two weeks.

Transplanting is very tricky. The seedlings should be transplanted once they are in their fourth leaf. Be very careful not to damage the fine roots in any way. They should be carefully potted up. Once again the fine, hair-like roots must not be damaged.

The potting-up medium should be sandy and well-drained loam. Once the young seedlings have successfully taken, they will grow rapidly. Move to a sunny, well-ventilated area.

When planting out, ensure the roots are not disturbed in any way. Perhaps the best solution is to cut the bottom of the plastic bag open and plant the Nymania capensis into the soil. Eventually the roots will break through the thin plastic bag.
