Fresh Smilax Aspera Seeds

It is a shrub native to Africa-Asia and Europe. It usually blooms spectacularly in the fall months.



When sowing, it is recommended to put the seeds in a sandy mixture, either based on perlite or river stones, moistened for two months in the fridge (a process known as cold stratification), then remove the seeds and sow them less than 1cm from depth on a mixture that drains well in a bright, sheltered and warm place. Germination is irregular and usually begins in a couple of months. It is recommended to plant the seedlings in individual pots when they have several pairs of leaves and gradually expose them to the sun to harden the seedlings.
