Red Mangrove - New Bonsai - But How To Take Care Of?

XianghuaALPHA

Yes it is I - that troublesome youth that bounces in and out of here


Anyway, I recently picked up a Red Mangrove, and it's a bonsai I dooo believe. [stunted - small - blah blah balh ]

Believe because at first I wasn't sure if you could even bonsai the buggers - but now I know you can


I've searched both online - and on this forum - and have yet to really find any info on "raising a good Mangrove Bonsai" - infact of the few links I found - some came back to me :lol: Anyawy - so yea - Any tips? Help?

Is spraying good? Like - in addition to to watering?

Converting from soil to water? Fresh water? Hard? No? Huh?


General "don't do this" tips?


I've got it in my office, and will now spray the iguana and the mangrove - but am hoping to pick up some expert tips here I APPRECIATE IT - cause yea, I'm just trying to take care of till I can get help - and not kill it

I think mangroves grow by river sides? or lakes? So what you'll need to do is plant it on wet soil...with lots of water next to it too..perhaps even create an artificial lake...and the roots grow down and up the water or mud to recieve their oxygen...

I thiiiink...well...that's what the discovery channel says..haha

Pending more definitive info, I'd treat it like a buttonwood (they grow together).

Go to the Bonsai Clubs International Species Guide for more info.
