Mangrove swamp

[sfin52]

It will take sometime before the mangrove start sprouting. But when they do, the mangrove a nice to look at. When the mangroves start to sprout, spray the mangrove leaves with water, not salter but fresh water one a week. This will hydrate the plant. I used RO/DI so not to get the bad stuff from tap water.

Mist them once in the morning and once at night with rodi water.

Any other suggestions.

Not at this time, I am going to follow how the mangrove growsin the pots. I just stuck the pods in the sump. Once pods started rooting, I place the pods in my live rock in the sump with a light. Nothing else.

I dose Mineral salts with the balling method I use. That could be feeding the Mangrove in the past.

I would think that many plant food have a lot of nitrogen, this could lead to a GHA outbreak.
