## Overview

These 5 LIVE Red Mangrove seedlings (Rhizophora mangle) come with established roots and multiple leaves, averaging over 12 inches tall.

## Description

These RED Mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) are great for tank Nitrate filtration or for landscaping. They are able to survive in salt, brackish, and fresh water. The propagules are not harvested from public shorelines, they are grown privately. We offer a two month survival guarantee. The plants you will receive will have established roots with at least two leaves. Most plants will be around 12" in height with an absolute minimum of 10 inches. Care instructions: Remove the plants from the shipping material. The temperature of this tropical plant should not drop below 40 degrees. Tank- Gently rinse them in room temperature fresh or tank water if you are placing them in an aquarium. Do not pack the roots down. Provide at least 12 hours a day of bright, daylight-spectrum light from a lamp or overhead light. The leaves need to be rinsed and cleaned everyday if the Mangrove is in a saltwater. If they begin dropping leaves, then it is not getting rinsed enough. They need to dispose of the salt through their leaves. Pot Planting- Cover their roots with soil, add fertilizer. Make sure their roots stay moist. They require filtered light. Please keep in mind, Mangroves don't tolerate full sun very well they thrive better in the shade. Mist them once a week if they are indoors.

Review: Huge, healthy mangroves, way better than competitors. - I don't often write reviews, but had to for this one. After ordering, I started to kind of regret it due to the other reviews stating they need to be acclimated to saltwater. Somone even mentioned to just get them from Algae Barn, which I have done before. But before I could cancel my order they shipped already (way faster than expected ship date, almost 2 weeks faster). When they arrived, I was already not regretting my decision given the box itself was almost 2ft long. I opened up the box, and it was not just the packaging, the mangroves were huge. Which is actually why I ordered from here, given the reviews stated they were much larger than advertised. The shortest one is probably about 16", with a few being 24". They also sent me 7, versus the 5 I ordered. When I ordered from Algae Barn in the past, I got exactly how many I ordered and if I recall, only 1 or 2 even had leaves (a single leaf) on them and were maybe 9" max, while again these are huge and all have multiple leaves. Don't listen to the other comments, even if you have to saltwater acclimate them, it is well worth it. Mangroves grow slowly, so even if you have to acclimate them for 2 weeks, you save a year on growth rate.
Review: Arrived healthy - Well packaged and healthy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Were these grown in salt or fresh? Will they acclimate to fresh if they have roots? If going into fresh, would horticultural charcoal substrate work?**
A: Lightly salted.  I live in Michigan.  They don’t do well in the cold weather. Thrown them out 2 weeks after receiving them

**Q: Can you keep in a vase - similar to keeping Bamboo?**
A: Yes, as long as you keep water over the roots.

**Q: I am very interested in this, but I want to put them in a planter outside. What material do I use to make the planter so the salt mud won't erode it?**
A: I think a thick plastic planter without holes would work. Or even a five gallon mixing container from Menards just paint outside for looks.

**Q: Can i just stick them into my tank and stick them in a hole in my live rock and let it stick out of the tank would that be okay for these**
A: I am not an expert with mangroves.  The ones I received have quite a few roots, so some care should be taken not to damage the roots when sticking them into the live rock.  I assume that you have bright overhead lighting.  They come with good instructions.  They recommend making styrafoam floats, which I found king of awkward to work with - they can provide unwanted shade and tended to tip over for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived healthy
*by J***I on January 9, 2026*

Well packaged and healthy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased with the quality and extras
*by T***N on November 13, 2017*

Received seven healthy seedlings with leaves and roots, each roughly the same length and maturity. They were in such good shape I put them in my main saltwater display tank, and happy I did, they look very cool. Very pleased with this purchase, I'd give it six stars if I could. Update - Four months after purchase and all 7 mangroves are still doing great. Roots have doubled in size (at a minimum), all shoots growing healthy leaves. The fishes love swimming around the roots, and the hermit crabs like climbing them. Have about 3" of the tops growing out of the top of the aquarium, so it adds a very unique look to the entire setup. Before adding these Mangroves, I was having persistent, frustrating, and time consuming nitrate issues, regardless of water change frequency. After adding these, nitrates started going down within a month, and now have been down to undetectable levels for the past 3 months. Have to say that to this date this has been my favorite purchase for my 1+ yr old display tank, for both aesthetics and maintaining water quality, and at a far lower price than any type of filtering equipment. Very happy customer, and I highly recommend based on the many benefits I describe above.
