Mangrove Trees

[Delphinus]

I started off with like a dozen pods about 5 years ago. They did OK for a few years, but ridiculously slow (nowhere near the kind of growth that Skylord has seen - think stick with a couple leafs). After moving them into the new house, I lost a swack of them. The rest never flourished and declined slowly. I moved them into a 8gal salt bucket full of aragonite sand thinking that giving them room to grow the roots would be good - but instead they just died. Too bad, they're a neat thing, but I don't really have the patience to try them again.

Skylord did yours start off as pods? (Apologies if you've answered this already and I just missed the info)

Yes....we started with pods. One thing you cant see in the pics is the soil. They are in the cheaper miracle mud with sand covering the soil. It took 2 months before these trees went into the tank. Acclimating them real slow, I believe, is real important to success. Any fast changes will damage, stunt or kill these trees.

Mine are pretty much the same size and age as skylord's (2yrs and 24") but not quite as bushy.
They are in mud as well under 150de 6500k.
