Hmm. Not sure that we have enough time to start from seed :-) I'll look
for bulbils.

Don't be too hasty in pulling them off the plant, if you leave them they
will usually grow roots whilst still attached to the stem. You can then
detach them and pot them up or pot up the whole stem, bulbils and all.

I should have said with the stem laid flat in the compost so the bulbils are
covered with compost.
