Sheila...
Assuming the the "berries" on your clivia turned color to red, remove the
outer, colored  covering , which should reveal 1-3 inner seeds, which are
sort of a light brown in color.  Sow these seeds in your favorite seed
starting medium, about 1/4" deep and don't allow to dry out (not too moist,
tho).  Germination should take place within 2 months or so.
