Rhizophora mangle "the Red Mangrove" - root XS

The Rhizophora root, known as the red mangrove, is a true, natural element that reflects the fascinating world of tropical waters. With its unique and distinctive shape, it makes an ideal addition to aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums.

Unique Shape: Rhizophora roots are remarkable due to their tall and intricate structures, which allow the trees to grow above the water's surface in nature. The long root sprouts are usually directed downward, giving the tree the appearance of being on "stilts."

Authentic and Natural: Each root is an authentic, natural piece of mangrove. Retaining its natural color and texture, it introduces an exotic atmosphere and reflects the true appearance of where water meets land.

For lovers of true nature and unique design, the Rhizophora root is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Its unique, tall shape, which allowed the trees to grow above the water's surface, can now become the focal point of your aquarium, terrarium, or paludarium.

Add a natural, authentic touch to your environment with the Rhizophora root, and enjoy this unique, living decorative element that will enliven any space!

Ready to use?
Yes, the roots can be used almost immediately. However, we recommend soaking the root in tap water for 7 - 10 days before placing it in the aquarium, regularly changing the water. This step can be skipped if the tank has good filtration.

For which aquarium?
Roots of size XS are recommended for tanks from 30l to 72l.

The root is a natural product. We ship the roots at random. Each one is selected and trimmed by hand. Shapes may vary, as well as colors.

Approximate dimensions of the XS root:
- height from 20cm to 30cm
- width of the branched base from 10cm to 20cm

Only XS roots occur without longer branches. Different shapes are visible in the pictures.
Remember that you can always trim the root to fit your aquarium size.
