Excellent video. Theres a lot of videos on Mangroves but not many people actually talk about how to care for them. I just bought 2 and have them in my hang on back refugium. They are not doing the best. I'm not sure if their grow light hits them sufficiently but I don't have any other way to get the light above them (it's more off to the side). I surley get spill over from my AI Prime on my main tank. The grow light is a 5W that is aboveish them and a Chaeto ball that, is doing lovley that I run at night. One thing I did not know was about spraying the leaves. I will start to do that. Hopefully it helps them. I know they have plenty of Nitrates and Phosphates and have the perfect substrate. 🤞🏻 Hoping they bounce back after regular daily leaf spraying.
As much as i want this tree, after some research i gave up to have one. It seems a 4inch deep soil is the minimum depth. But then after few years it will need more soil than 4' and will outgrow the tank.
Wow, a specialist with one stem and 5 leaves dropping some knowledge bombs on this one! Listen son, I had one unfortunate Mangrove forgotten stale and bone dry for 10 years not growing or shedding a leaf. Then I popped the pot into my freshwater tank and plant just exploded. I gets fuck all light, it extends beyond my 18W florescent tube, so don't make it a bigger deal than it is. I never sprayed it, ok maybe once, because it had thick layer of dust on it. It's a hardy plant and will grow practically everywhere.
Yep, I think it’s a myth that they need saltwater to grow. Mine has grown very healthily on freshwater alone, and I also haven’t sprayed it a single time so far. A very hardy plant indeed. All mine seems to need is lots of water and sun.
Mines losing leaves and it’s in my Refugium in an all in one system, any way it can survive from sunlight in your room if it’s not by a window? Or any cheap clip on light options?
@@OmarTheAtheistAziz I have some in my freshwater fish tank and used to keep them in my marine aquarium. These guys grow slow in freshwater, but in saltwater more slower
because usual freshwater climates have cold winters where they wont survive and they easily reproduce in brackish water but in freshwater they have to do less salt filtering so they grow much bigger, from personal experience they grow amazing in freshwater
@@ThexSkaterxGurl awesome I was really worried I wouldn't be able to have this in freshwater because he mentions the tree's leafs producing salty ness so I thought if I sprayed it the salt would make the freshwater salty haha don't know just what I thought 😂. Thanks for letting me know I appreciate that
that's not a red mangrove, red mangroves don't excrete salt through their leaves, it's impossible. Their roots prevents salt intake. That's a different species or the mist from your aquarium may have deposited it their by error. Either way it's not a red mangrove.
They are able to as they have specific glands, the transporter molecules move the ions out of the tissues between the veins and salt glands into tunnels between cells. When sodium and chloride reach the salt gland, the tunnels function as one-way streets, moving the ions into the gland then secrete it out onto the surface of the leaf.

Thank you, I received my mangrove tree yesterday and I'll have the tank today. I hope he'll be fine :D
I’m thinking about doing a Saltwater planted tank do this video was very helpful 🤗🤗😎
Thanks, just doing a review of the Fluval Evo which might suit your needs!
Everyday Aquarist awesome I just seen you upload it so I’ll be watching that now while I enjoy my coffee ☕️
Very nice! I'm going to do the same and populate the tank with Archerfish and mudskippers
Cool
I love this type of tank

Any idea where to find white mangrove seeds? The red ones are just sooooo big.
Any trace elements you find help prevent leaves browning?
How do i plant my red mangrove seed do i need to add more water when it gets bigger

Well, I can’t speak for all mangroves. Mine is a white mangrove specifically.
What do you spray your mangroove with, ro water?
Yes
What lights are you using for your mangroves?
Kessil freshwater
How long do you leave your light on daily for your mangrove?
Mines losing leaves and it’s in my
Refugium in an all in one system, any way it can survive from sunlight in your room if it’s not by a window? Or any cheap clip on light options?
Check on Amazon for plant clip on lights.
Very good
Do they need the brackish water? Can they not be grown in a fresh water aquarium?
I have mine growing in freshwater
Can they Grow in barebottom tanks?
i have 5 growing not in soil in a freshwater tank
Good
Well there goes my Mangrove growing in my fish tank dreams
Any chance these will grow in a freshwater aquarium?
I think it is possible with this species, but difficult to do
Green Thumb Aquariums it grows in a freshwater faster than in a salt.
Roman Zabaznov Wow thanx how u know u have?
@@OmarTheAtheistAziz I have some in my freshwater fish tank and used to keep them in my marine aquarium. These guys grow slow in freshwater, but in saltwater more slower
@Mr Penguin I mean, logically that would be in between
How big will this mangrove get?
Is it a problem if you can't mist the plant during holiday.
You dont have to mist them ive had mine for 2 years and never washed the leaves, just needs good light and a good bottom for its roots
can you grow them in freshwater?
yes they grow way faster in freshwater
so, how come they don't take over lakes and rivers? in any case, I'll try it out in my fresh water tank
because usual freshwater climates have cold winters where they wont survive and they easily reproduce in brackish water but in freshwater they have to do less salt filtering so they grow much bigger, from personal experience they grow amazing in freshwater
Does this mean I can't use this tree for freshwater set up?? By any chance does any one know what type of tree I can use for freshwater
I’ve seen people have them in complete fresh.

bro is that seagrass ?
No bro it's Caulerpa

I wouldn't put clay in a reeftank...
Any reason why you wouldn't place clay into a reef tank?

Where can I buy one of theses beautiful bastards

Not true about the red mangrove don’t need substrate or misting 👍
Information has changed since I made this video
Fresh water y/n
n
Too late already bought 8 of em
I hope it works out
Some people in comments section says it grows better in fresh water
@@OmarTheAtheistAziz Hows it going?
@@OmarTheAtheistAziz yeah I got one and they told me it was freshwater
I believe they do grow in freshwater.
silly ????? how to add add plant to saltwater??
Good
