Hi Jim,

I think they`re rhizomatous, they germinate like Polygonatum, and Ruscus. I
had S. excelsa @ home, but forgotten to water, maybe it is dead...
This plant has got semi-evergreen leaves, climbing thorny stems and nice red
fruits.

Talking about climbers, I`m fan of Dioscorea and Thamus, the latter never
germinated, tried fresh seeds 3 times.
