This is a fun new plant. I hope that it will grow for me.
Solid graciously sent me a gift of some white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) propagules that he collected while fishing out in the mangroves in Florida.
They are sprouting! I set them up on some wet paper towel in plastic dish, which I floated in a tank. I think that this was a very good idea for starting them because they are getting light, moisture, oxygen and warmth, and because I didn't have any place else to put them.
This is another to add to my collection of pretty good choices for a brackish riparium setup. I will plant them in a couple of hanging planters. I wish I had the room for another tank, one with brackish water and brackish fish.
I should have provided some object for scale--I always forget to do that--the propagules are about 3/8" long.
