Grow Your Own, from Mangrove Propagules

We have seedlings which are ideal for starting in aquariums. Most aquarists recommend starting plants this way to train as an aquarium plant.

Red mangroves make an attractive potted plant too. They do not have to be grown in water.

Teachers! Grow some mangroves in jars in your classroom as part of a nature study unit. You can arrange to later plant them in any number of coastal parks and preserves, for a great field trip, ecology lesson, and contribution to the environment.

The Red Mangrove utilizes an internal salt pump to exclude salt ions. This is the means by which the plant survives the saline environment. The "pump" is a cellular process whereby the element magnesium (Mg) is taken into the plant's cells, forcing out sodium (Na) ions. Therefore, growing Red Mangrove in a closed system such as an aquarium requires close monitoring of the magnesium balance as the plants will remove not only the nitrogen wastes in the water, but magnesium as well. When magnesium is depleted in a tank, the plants will turn yellow or exhibit other signs of salt stress, including shrivelling.

Red Mangroves also grow beautifully in fresh water- try some in a vase of water on the windowsill!

Also, remember, there's no need to fertilize these plants when growing them in a closed sytem. They get along fine on bacterial waste products in the water, and adding nutrients to a tank defeats the purpose of having them there to remove nutrients.

Mangrove seeds may be grown in fresh, brackish, or marine environment. Remember that they like a good amount of light. When they are ready, transfer to your tank.
