Its distribution ranges from West Africa through India and Malesia to northern Australia. Like Rhizophora, Bruguiera belongs to the Rhizophoraceae family within the Malpighiales order and forms similar stilt-like root structures. Bruguiera mangroves are found very close to the coast, for example in estuaries, where they must tolerate highly variable salinity levels, ranging from almost salt-free to almost completely saline. The soil in these areas is characterized by very fine sediment deposits, which are washed inland from the adjacent rivers and settle here over long periods due to the slowed flow rate. The majority of this silt consists of fine, siliceous abrasion clay. Organic plant remains and detritus are also present.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn order to anchor themselves in this unstable and often changing substrate, these trees, which can grow up to 20 m tall, form a network of stilt roots that further anchor the plant superficially in all directions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Similar to \u003cem\u003eRhizophora\u003c\/em\u003e , the seeds of \u003cem\u003eBruguiera\u003c\/em\u003e also germinate on the mother plant, but practically fully developed young plants (vivipary) are used for dispersal. These buoyant young plants are significantly shorter and thicker than those of \u003cem\u003eRhizophora\u003c\/em\u003e and can often be found washed up on beaches. When these diaspores find suitable substrate, they immediately anchor themselves with their first roots and begin to sprout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eBruguiera gymnorhiza\u003c\/em\u003e (Orange Mangrove) can also cope with highly saline water, but ours come from pure freshwater and are suitable for long-term habitats.\u003cbr\u003e Pot culture in a waterlogged system is also possible.","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319572574585,"sku":"Bru001","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Bruguiera-gymnorhiza-Orange-Mangrove-01.jpg?v=1764924440","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/bruguiera-gymnorhiza-orange-mangrove","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
