Thanks Michika
Thats kind of what I thought. I tried the cutting thing with no luck. Oh well. Just have to be happy with what I have.

Any mangrove you'll see in a tank at home is nothing more than a seedling. When a mangrove propagates, it's a tree. It drops pods that randomly stick or drift off to grow in sand or mud and grow there. Our mangroves, no more than 2 feet in height are just not mature enough.
