Mangroves

Anyone know why my Mangroves would be dieing off? Water is fine, so maybe
not enough food for them?

Thanks,

Dan

They like magnesium.
It has been said a small dose of iron as well, but mine don't seem to
need it.
If your nitrates are 0 you might want to feed the fish more.
Some sun can work miracles also.

How old are they, and did you grow them from pods, or were they rooted
when you got them?

They like high humidity too.

In addition, the person I bought mine from instructed me to mist them
daily.

Never considered that. It's usually 80%-90% here year round...

I never do that. I do scrape the salt from their leaves with my finger
when it gets real thick.
