Shop - Red Mangrove Propegule – single

Description

Red Mangrove creates a propagule that is in reality a living tree. Though resembling an elongated seed pod, the fully-grown propagule on the mangrove is capable of rooting and producing a new tree. The trees are hermaphrodites, capable of self pollination or wind pollination. The tree undergoes no dormant stage as a seed, but rather progresses to a live plant before leaving its parent tree. A mangrove propagule may float in brackish water for over a year before rooting.

These grow well in fresh, brackish or salt water. Once established they create a striking effect growing out of the water in an open top tank.

Be sure to only have the very bottom, root part of the propegule in the substrate.

They do not need high light or CO2 injection to grow well. But bare in mind that whilst slow growers, they are capable of growing extremely large.
