Mangroves

Ok, I have 5 mangroves, 2 of which are beginging to leaf which I am happy about. But 2 of them look like the top half is slowly dying. The top part turned brown and it is slowly progressing down the pod, or seed, or w/e u want to call it. Has anyone had experience with this? Should I just toss them? Cut the dead part off? should I post pics or am I being detailed enough?

Answer the last question first...

Thanks lol.

 

Are you misting them with freshwater every couple of days?

 

I just posted a few tips in another thread

check the roots to see if they are strong and growing - if so give it some more time and they will begin to sprout leaves soon. Also like irr stated, keep misting them weekly with fresh water to wash off any salt creep.

 

I didn't bother misting when I first got mine and a few of them began to do what you explained..but they slowly recovered are all doing fine now
