Tsuh Yang, It seems that Griffinia species are self incompatable, so more than one clone is needed. I have had a Griffinia (no species name on it) from Gardino's nursery in Florida for some time (non spotted leaves), it never has set seed. I acquired another species of Griffinia (spotted leaves) in a trade, and was able to cross it with a plant of my original species, now I see good seed pods on both. So it would be best to acquire other clones of your Griffinia, or do interspecific crosses.
