Heritiera littoralis - Looking-Glass Mangrove tolerates fresh water/ brackish water
average seed size is 10 cm
also grows very well in pots (needs sand and high levels of humidity)
maximum height: 30 meters
not winter proof

introduction
  We are dealing with an extremely fascinating kind of mangrove tree, when it comes to the looking-glass mangrove. It develops very unusual board-shaped roots and often displays the strangest appearance once it has reached a certain height.

distribution
  This type of mangrove is often found in the interior at the end of a mangrove forest growing along a river. This type of mangrove needs fresh water.

cultivation
 

roots
  Ribbon roots that can reach an enormous height.

leaves
  The leaves can become very large/big up to 30 cm. They are dark-green and silver-white on the bottom.

flowers
  The blossoms are small and greenish. Depending on environmental conditions the blossoms can have a touch of a violet coloring.

fruits
 

seeds
  The seeds are brown, oval-shaped and have a higher seam and a lower seam. The lower seam needs to be employed later, it is where the roots shall sprout from. The higher seam is above water when the seed is in the ocean looking for land and functions as a sail that transports the seed to the coast.

trunk
  The trunk is a white-grayish color.

soil
  The type of mangrove trees prefers less marshy grounds than the ‘Rhizophora’ types do.

growth
  Height: up to 30 meters
Temperature: 20-40° Celsius
Ideal growing conditions: 50° C up to 90% humidity – 70-90% sunlight
Grows in nature – unlike many other types of mangroves not directly on the coast or near the ocean.

usage
  Timber wood
