I really want to do a bunch of mangroves as well in my system, so reading about you and others doing it is super helpful.

Very nice there GSP.
Can't wait to see the mangroves growing out of your tank.
Cheers

They are pretty tough like any tree once they are established. I have not had very good luck with growing them from pods. They also take forever to start sprouting a nice amount of leaves in my experiences with them. I am very happy to have found some that are already over a foot tall with a decent root system already started. The roots have grown quite a bit already in the few weeks now that I have had them. Should just be a few more weeks until they are fully acclimated to the tanks water! I can't wait.
