Very helpful. I collected a lot after the Hurricane on the beach last fall. I took them home and planted them in a pot like a normal plant. Half of them died but 4-6 grew but ever so slowly. I think after watching this I’ll follow your directions & repot them as you did. Thanks for the video & info!

Hi Alieno! Any kind of slow release inorganic fertilizer containing nitrogen and phosphorus should work well. In their natural habitat, red mangroves primarily uptake their nitrogen in the form of ammonium due to anoxic soil conditions. Grown rates are usually limited by both nitrogen and phosphorus, so any slow release fertilizer should work well. Thanks for watching!!

Hi! Red mangrove are excluders and do not take in the salt even when in salty environments. If you grow one using freshwater, it can still easily move into a more brackish or salty environment so long at it has proper hydrology, sunlight, and other environmental factors that red mangroves need to thrive. Enjoy!

Hi Keith! The top of the propagule will usually have a pointy green tip which will unfurl into the first leaves when it has everything it needs. The bottom of the propagule is thicker and will often look brown towards the bottom and you may even see some reddish bumps or small roots beginning to push out from the stem. You will want to put the thicker side where the roots will emerge in the shell/sand and keep the top of the propagule above the water line where the leaves will emerge. Hope that helps!

Hello! Can these be transferred to shallow water with other mangroves successfully? Thanks

@Risingtidefl

Hi! In the correct environment and areas where the same species of mangroves are already found, they should be able to transfer well. It's not uncommon for young mangroves to stay quite small when growing in the understory of a mature forest, but if the mature tree dies or is damages to allow additional sunlight to penetrate the canopy, the young trees will start growing more quickly. Mangrove are prolific and if the area is suitable for mangroves to grow, they'll grow! Thanks for watching!

Hello! 1 & 2. Many different types of substrate will work as featured in the video, but they must always be fully saturated. I might avoid clay-like substrate as they tend to like sandy mud or peat like soils. Make sure to plug the holes in any pot or container so it can hold water and you can keep it full to the top 3. Change the water when you notice any algae growth or the water becomes cloudy. 4. Red Mangroves need ample sunlight. If you use a plastic pot just make sure to plug the holes so that it does not leak. Trimming a red mangrove can be difficult as they are non-epicormic trees and new growth comes from the growing tips at the end of each branch. It will branch naturally, but I would limit trimming until it has lots of branches and leaves and only trim sparingly. Thanks for your comment!

Hi Makhail! It does not! Mangroves are salt tolerant, meaning they can tolerate salt, but do not require it. Red Mangrove like the ones featured in this video are 'excluders', meaning that they exclude salt as they take water into their system. They will do just fine in fresh water, but are often out-competed by other plants in natural freshwater communities. You can use water right from the tap for your potted mangrove at home. Enjoy!

Why did you use fresh water if they sprout in salt?

@RyMAster67

2 жыл бұрын

Hello! Mangroves are 'salt tolerant', meaning they can tolerate salt, but do not require it to grow. In the case of the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), it's adaptation for dealing with salt is called exclusion, meaning it can block salt from coming into the root system when in estuarine or marine environments while pulling freshwater through. They use very little energy to do this. Other mangroves practice 'extrusion' where they take the salt in and excrete it in various ways, which is an energy intensive process. On another note, the mangrove propagules are already sprouted/germinated when we find them. A propagule is a sapling, not a seed, pod, or fruit. The leaves will unfurl and roots will emerge when they settle in a place that's good for them, just like the examples in the video. Good luck and enjoy!! Thanks for commenting!
