Mangroves in Sunroom

DKKA · 11-24-2002, 04:49 PM

My 10 gallon mangrove tank in the basement is getting crowded as the trees grow. I was thinking of removing one of them and potting it and putting it out in my sunroom.

Will I be able to do this without a heater? It never freezes in there, but we don't run the heater continuously and the temp can drop into the mid-40's on some of the colder winter nights.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, we were actually in the mid-40's the other night. Looking out the kitchen window, I see every leaf intact, still on the trees.

Truth is, even if they loose some/all of their leaves, they'll just grow them right back. A long winter of 40's and low light might do that.

Thanks Jerel, I might have to give this a try.
At least with Mangroves I won't have to worry about overwatering/underwatering and killing them like I do all my other houseplants.
