Re: mangroves?

Even if they have a very minimal root system? I moved them when they bloomed the first 2 leaves.

I hope it works, but I was worried about this from the begining.

I got like 15 sprouts, and a bunch of seeds, the seeds are growing pretty good too. But they just float on the top of the water with the roots flowing everywhere right now...

Thanks for the advice.
