Great instructions and pics Robert!
I'd like to add that I wait until most of the pods have split. To not loose so many seeds falling out of the pods I'll make my flowerspikes a bit more sexy and put on some stockings when the first pods are starting splitting






Edit:
I thought I'll share two pics of my crazy female N. spathulata. It has put out at all 20 flowerspikes in the past two months:
