Life cycle of a Mangrove tree

        Adult mangrove trees usually grown in large groups, called mangrove forests.

Flowers
They produce small flowers, these flowers do not generate seeds. Instead, mangrove flowers produce young mangrove trees called propagules.

Propagules
The propagules remain on the mangrove tree as they grow. The growth stage last for up to 12 months. The propagules fall from the tree and floats on water. It can survive up to 24 months in water. When water is shallow enough, the plant roots in the ground and grow more leaves. As they grow into adult mangrove tree, they start producing propagules and the cycle continues.
