Propagation: The sensitive plant is most often grown from seeds. Pink flowers produce seeds. Sow the seeds in moist peat moss and perlite, and place clear plastic above the planting medium, as seeds need a lot of moisture to sprout. Expect the seeds to sprout in 14 to 21 days.
Bulb Flowers that are not deadheaded will reseed themselves. It takes five to seven years for the reseeded flowers to grow new flowers. When you deadhead bulb flowers the plant spends six to eight weeks growing leaves and enlarging roots allowing the plant to prepare for the growth and flowering for the next year.
