Don't let your project become a wash-out! We have Rhizophora mangle, These beautiful saplings have been grown in a flow-through brackish water pond. Shown at left is a created mangrove planter in Broward County, Florida, as part of an environmental mitigation following new seawall construction. This planter is in a heavily trafficked section of Intracoastal Waterway with continuous wakes and wave activity. But the mangroves aren't going anywhere! Staked with rebar driven through cement blocks below the soil surface, these sturdy plants are well-anchored and will attach themselves to the anchoring blocks and eventually onto the retaining boulders. So complete your mitigaton requirement without delay- Create a mangrove planter today! |

 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. For
