What's up everyone!
I went to Florida and I found some propagules! I always wanted to try so.. let's do it!
They were on water for several days until I figured out how to plant among several ideas.
I have red mangroves as this picture explains:

I understood from a yt video of @WWC that rhizoporas they do fine in either Salt or fresh water.
- For Salt water, you must ensure good lighting, because this trigger the filtration of elements. This specie does "eat" the salt so to make this separation good light is really important.
- For fresh water, you don't challenge the plant so much by jumping the salt filtration process, so theoretically this is a higher change of success.
Based in this article of the great Jake Adams - who was a bright soul which left an amazing legacy in this hobby - I believe that fresh water system should be pretty straight forward.
I bought a bag of similar substrate as informed. I'm using fluval statum.
Clay pot of my wife
Water 50% fresh out of the tap lol
50% saltwater
Reason? these propagules came from the sea.
I think they were used to salt, so I assume It will reduce the shock and since it's summer, light if good at the porch, I believe they might thrive.
Today I was checking it and we had a lot of evaporation, like 5oz. I'm glad I have a tiny one which is my water level.
I will keep posting once I have more relevant updates. Thanks for reading until here!
If yoy want to check my other threat about a crazy bowl with no external filtration check this out!
