I planted Mangrove Red in my paludarium last month. The plant has grown steadily and adds a natural look to the setup. The roots stay in water and the leaves grow above, creating a great visual contrast. Water quality has improved noticeably over the past few weeks.

The plant arrived healthy and ready to grow. I placed it in a brackish tank with a mix of water and soil. After two months, it’s quite tall and looks like a natural part of the environment. Easy to maintain and very effective at filtering water.
