hi,

 

how do you make your mangrove root into a certain spot in the rock scape?

 

I usually see in my LFS a short stem floating mangroves.

 

something like Giga's Mangrove Forest, but with some spa and softies...

 

 

 

thanks

Giga grew his mangrove tree out for like 3-5 years and continually pruned it so it would create a nice low canopy, with a big root system. He also used aluminum wire, like in bonsai, to shape the branches.

 

He grew it outside and in fresh water, to encourage growth. When it was time, he slowly acclimated the tree to saltwater.
