Mangrove seedlings will grow under almost any condition as long as their environmental temperature does not drop below 40 degrees, their roots are wet, and they receive a bit of fertilizer once in a while. We recommend 1/2 tsp of MiracleGro and 1/2 tsp of epsom salts mixed into a gallon of tap water.

Living indoors, the seedlings require a certain amount of light. If you can see a shadow by passing your hand a few inches over any surface, you have enough light for a mangrove. You can add a plant light (not over 40 watts) kept at least 12 inches away. If the light is too close, the leaves will burn and turn brown. Mangroves will grow faster with more light, requiring more water.

For outdoor plants, mangroves don't tolerate full sun very well. They prefer filtered light or shade. How much sun they receive and the size of the pot will determine how often you'll have to water.
