SRC Member Firestarter Posted October 27, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted October 27, 2008 I picked up a single piece of mangrove floating on the beach yesterday. I thought it would be nice if I could make the mangrove grow, so I brought it home.

SRC Member Firestarter Posted October 27, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 27, 2008 Got a 1.5L water bottle, cut it in half, added some sand into the bottle and placed the mangrove into the sand carefully, so as not to break the root.

SRC Member Firestarter Posted October 27, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hope it survives. I think the light might not be strong enough. Its been cloudy the whole day, so no sunlight.

MachoMarlin Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well, I don't know if I should disclose the location to prevent ppl from swarming there to collect mangrove shoots. But its not Pasir Ris beach. No worries, at low tides, you will find LOTS of them around Changi, East Coast Park, Pulau Ubin, Lim Chu Kang, with some drifted as far away as southern islands and beyond. These are plentiful in Singapore and Johore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
