Most mangrove species thrive in fertile, well-drained soil and require full sunlight. Initially, water them regularly, reducing frequency as they mature. For planting, prepare the area by loosening the soil and remove any weeds. Position the mangrove plant, ensuring the root-ball is level with the soil surface. Fill the hole back and firm the soil gently. Mulch around, not touching the stem, to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Overall, each mangrove species might have specific requirements, and understanding these will influence planting success.
