Does anybody have any experience with growing mangrove trees?

Don't mangroves take years to grow? I'm just basing this off how slowly they grew by where I used to live.

I did my senior research in college on mangrove crabs and how they contribute to overall mangrove health.

they're tough plants. Salinity has to be just right and there are nitrogen fixing bacteria around the roots. Go for it, but they are actively trying to restore mangroves in florida because they can be so temperamental. Very slow growers as well. If you can manage a way to get them to grow quickly you could make some real money.

what the fuck do you even want to do with that many mangrove trees, you tard?

Do you even know what the fuck you have? You can't just say "mangrove tree" because there's so much shit just called mangrove and they are all particular in their own ways.

Sort yourself out.

>Just ordered like 15 saplings and I've never grown anything more than a cactus you guys. What the fuck am I doing.
Being a fucking impulsive retard

You just fucked up. Unless you meant propagules?
What species? Same as your pic?

Anyway. Red mangroves are pretty hardy when grown from a propagule, though need lots of humidity, warmth, and light to grow well. Daily leaf misting too. Fastest growth happens when the roots are fully buried in substrate, trying to achieve pretty drop roots takes years.

If you got actual saplings... be prepared to lose some of them. For whatever reason, they don't take well to an entirely new environment once they put out roots.
