How to take care of it? 

🌿 Silver Mangrove Care Guide
Elegance Meets Resilience

1. 🌞 Light:

   • Thrives in full sun for optimal growth and leaf vibrance.
   • Tolerates partial shade but performs best with at least 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.

2. 💧 Water:

   • Extremely drought-tolerant once established.
   • Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Ideal for sandy or well-draining soils.

3. 🌡️ Temperature:

   • Grows best in warm climates, withstanding temperatures between 60–90°F (15–32°C).
   • Frost-intolerant, so protect during cold snaps if grown outside tropical or subtropical zones.

4. 🌫️ Humidity & Environment:

   • Thrives in coastal, salty air environments, making it ideal for seaside gardens.
   • Adaptable to arid or humid regions with proper care.

5. 🌱 Soil:

   • Prefers sandy, well-draining soils but can tolerate loamy or rocky soils.
   • Highly salt-tolerant, making it perfect for high-salinity environments.

6. 🍃 Fertilizer:

   • Not a heavy feeder. Use a slow-release, balanced fertilizer once every 4–6 months during the growing season.
   • Avoid over-fertilizing, as it thrives in nutrient-poor soils.

7. ✂️ Pruning:

   • Prune lightly to maintain shape or encourage dense growth, especially if used as a hedge.
   • Remove dead or damaged branches as needed.

8. ⚠️ Pests & Diseases:

   • Resistant to most pests and diseases, but monitor for occasional scale insects or mites. Treat with neem oil or horticultural soap if necessary.

🌟 Pro Tip: Silver Mangroves are excellent for erosion control in coastal areas. Use them to stabilize sandy soils and create sustainable, eco-friendly landscapes!

1. Saca las tijeras

Corta los tallos de tus flores en un angulo de 45° utilizando unas tijeras limpias y afiladas.

2. Llena el embase con agua

Es importante que tus flores estén siempre hidratadas, para mejores resultados cambia el agua de tus flores diariamente. El agua debería verse transparente y limpia siempre que vayas a meter tus flores. Consejo: Quita cualquier hoja o follaje que quede por debajo del nivel del agua.

3. Encuentra el lugar ideal

A diferencia de las flores sembradas, las flores cortadas no soportan la luz solar directa, mantenlas en un lugar frio y alejadas del calor directo del sol.
