Re: mangroves?

The seeds sprouted in saltwater.
I was just afraid to put the plants in the ground because of the leaves growing upward.

Can the whole plant be suberged leaves and all?

If you sprouted them in fresh water you need to slowly raise the salinity over a few months so they don't go into shock.
