5 LIVE Mangroves - Red Mangrove Seedlings - Filtration, Aquarium, Reef, Tank, Saltwater, Aquatic, Plants

I don't often write reviews, but had to for this one.After ordering, I started to kind of regret it due to the other reviews stating they need to be acclimated to saltwater. Somone even mentioned to just get them from Algae Barn, which I have done before. But before I could cancel my order they shipped already (way faster than expected ship date, almost 2 weeks faster).When they arrived, I was already not regretting my decision given the box itself was almost 2ft long. I opened up the box, and it was not just the packaging, the mangroves were huge. Which is actually why I ordered from here, given the reviews stated they were much larger than advertised. The shortest one is probably about 16", with a few being 24". They also sent me 7, versus the 5 I ordered.When I ordered from Algae Barn in the past, I got exactly how many I ordered and if I recall, only 1 or 2 even had leaves (a single leaf) on them and were maybe 9" max, while again these are huge and all have multiple leaves.Don't listen to the other comments, even if you have to saltwater acclimate them, it is well worth it. Mangroves grow slowly, so even if you have to acclimate them for 2 weeks, you save a year on growth rate.

After several months now, these continue to grow. They grow very slow (for me anyway). I tried another company and the plants arrived in plastic sleeves (that’s how they start them growing) and you can’t remove them! They become imbedded once the plant starts growing. Who wants to see a plastic sleeve in their aquarium or wherever they decide to plant these.This company starts them in freshwater. So if you want to grow them in saltwater you have to slowly acclimate them over. Took me roughly 4 weeks, added 25% saltwater each week until I was at 100%

I received the package a full 8 days early! I ordered 5 live mangroves and received 7 so I’m very happy. They are of a decent size and even though they sat on my front porch for 3 days after receiving they are alive and well in my saltwater reef tank. Would definitely recommend.

One died

Thank you, I give you a 6+. Order came promptly, earlier than estimated. Plants arrived intact, healthy, and looking like what people should expect. I would recommend to people who read these questioning if they look like the picture. I thought mine looked better, regardless thanks again.

Was not what the description implied. Could not use in my salt water tank. Ended up in the trash.

Excellent customer service, the mangrove trees are thriving

arrived living, still thriving months later in brackish tank, 1.008 salinity
