Re: mangroves?

I am starting some in my 'mangrove' fuge. I contacted Leroy at GARF who sent me 6 stalks and instructions on how to 'plant' them - he said to take a piece of styrofoam, poke a hole through it, put the stalk through it and let it float in the tank. The roots will grow but not being attached to anything wont be permanent. He also said to pinch off the top two leaves once it sprouts 4 leaves and it will branch out and be more of a bonsai effect than a stalk effect.... I'm putting that plan into action tomorrow...
