Continue to tend to the seedlings after they sprout. Seedling establishment is signified by the full development of the first leaf, which marks the beginning of the juvenile stage. During this phase, optimal soil temperature is 85 to 90 °F (29 to 32 °C). Continue watering your seedlings regularly to maintain soil moisture. With proper soil temperature and moisture, plants in the juvenile stage will grow up to to 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 m) tall in 2 to 3 years. Keep an eye out for insects and animals.
