Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature (70-80°F) for germination. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is required. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on until they are large enough to be planted outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen planting outdoors, choose a site with adequate space for the vine to climb or spread. Provide a trellis, fence, or other support if a vertical effect is desired. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Laurel Greenbrier is relatively low-maintenance and can be pruned to control size if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 5 Laurel Greenbrier seeds (Smilax laurifolia).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795493257526,"sku":"FOLIA2-006","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6735747543_2vc4.jpg?v=1792670507","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/laurel-greenbrier-seeds-smilax-laurifolia-5-seeds-for-wildlife-natural-fencing","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
