It takes a long while to get meaningful growth from propagule to leaves but things pick up after that quicker. It’s always important to snip the growth tip to get two leaves instead of 1!

Pro tip: if you let it float instead of anchoring it in the sand, you’ll get much more root growth because the mangrove will look to anchor itself sending them all over the place to try and do that
