So i have done alot of research for brackish plants and im trying to make a mangrove paludarium, and going to attempt a DIY 3d backround. salinity around 1.005sg
In the 3d wall pockets i can grow certain plants, and while some plants take up to 1.003sg ok, few will handle 1.004- 1.005sg, some that i can think of are
java fern
crypts (specificly ciliata)
Crinum thaianum
some of the hygros
gaint vals
bacopas
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis
dwarf sag.
I am more concerned and having trouble finding emergent flood and salt tolerant plants.
i know bacopas, and dwarf sage, as well as java moss can be grown emergent, but info about non fully aquatic plants are hard to come by.
im thinking leather fern, some of the saltwort species, smooth codgrass or some of the grasses available from florida.
any experience or knowledge of flood tolerant, salt talerant plants, especially from tropical mangrove forests, not just the subtropical and temperate salt marshes?
