Description
A mangrove propagule is a small seed like item that mangrove trees drop which you can plant to grow a new sapling. It looks like a small woody shoot and it is the primary way to replant and expand mangrove forests. Propagules are essential for sustainable wood harvesting because they let players regrow trees where they have been cut down and they ensure a steady supply of mangrove logs, planks and leaves. The propagule can be planted on mud blocks in shallow water or on suitable soil in the mangrove swamp biome where it will take root and grow into a full size mangrove tree over time. Because mangrove trees form in wetlands the propagule is an important ecological addition that makes mangrove forests feel realistic and renewable. Players use propagules to create managed forests, to replant cleared areas and to create decorative young trees along waterways. The propagule is a small item but it carries a lot of value for long term survival and for players who like to maintain a natural landscape. It also features in many landscaping projects because you can control tree placement and create avenues of mangrove trees that look natural.
What is Mangrove Propagule?
A mangrove propagule is a seed like item dropped by mangrove trees that can be planted to grow a new mangrove sapling and eventually a mature tree. It is used for reforestation and for controlled planting in mangrove swamp biomes and is essential for sustainable harvesting of mangrove wood.
Where to find Mangrove Propagule
Mangrove propagules drop from mangrove leaves and from the tree body in mangrove swamp biomes. You will find them under trees and along the waterline in mangrove areas where young tree shoots are common. They are a natural part of the mangrove ecosystem and appear where trees are healthy and mature.
How to get Mangrove Propagule
Collect propagules by breaking mangrove leaves and logs or by waiting for natural drops. Use shears or harvest leaves and logs to speed up the process and then pick up the items. Store propagules in chests and plant them where you want new growth to occur. They are easy to carry and cheap to plant in any appropriate muddy area.

Manage spacing between planted propagules to ensure healthy growth and to maintain access for later harvesting.
