Oriental Mangrove Plants 2-4" Long x 10
10 Oriental Mangrove plants 2-4" inches long. The Large Leafed Orange Mangrove, which is most of the time called Oriental Mangroves, is unique because of its exquisitely beautiful blossoms. Moreover it is easy to care for, especially in terrariums or aquariums, which is why the oriental mangroves is one of my absolute favourites.
The plant can be grown in an aquarium
tolerates fresh water / brackish water / salt water
it filters the water (nitrates & phosphates) - whereby it improves the quality of the water
it grows quickly
average seed size is 2-4 inches
also grows very well in pots (needs sand & humidity)
Which Mangroves are perfect for fresh water aquariums?
Red & Grey Mangroves due to their tolerance of high levels of salinity, warmth & cold as well as light - ideal for salt water aquariums. Yellow and Oriental Mangroves are ideal for salt water aquariums since they can also tolerate high levels of salinity, not as high as the red mangrove, but a level of 1.025 can easily be tolerated.
Oriental Mangroves grow rapidly (one pair of leaves every 1-2 weeks.
What benefits do Mangroves have?
filter nitrates and phosphates better than any other mechanical filter
produce a better atmosphere in the room or in the aquarium for the fish
offer a nesting place for nesting
offer varied green areas outside of sweet water aquariums, or brackish or salt water aquariums
shorten the settling in time of aquariums up to 80%
offer wonderful hiding places for young fish and all other
Please note these pictures are a guide only, the Oriental Seeds you will receive are just the central pod part of the plant.
