Rhizophora mangle "the Red Mangrove" - root S

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 exceptional due to their tall and intricate structures, which allow the trees to grow above the water's surface in nature. The long root shoots are usually directed downwards, making the tree look as if it is "on stilts."

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

For lovers of true nature and unique design, the Rhizophora root is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Its distinctive tall shape, which allowed 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, lively 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 provided the tank is well-filtered.

For what size aquarium?
Roots of size S are recommended for tanks from 60l to 150l.

The root is a natural product. The roots are shipped randomly. Each one is selected and trimmed by hand. Shapes may vary as well as colors slightly.

Approximate dimensions of the S root:
- height from 30cm to 40cm
- width of the branched base from 10 to 30cm

Remember that you can always trim the root to fit the dimensions of your tank.
