Some observations on results of salt or diluted salt on Phempis acidula and Mangrove:
1. Brittle twigs and branches more difficult to wire,
2. Leaves is smaller but weaker,
3. Needs more watering than regular feeding
4. leaves are somewhat darker too.
We prefer to use shrimp paste and fermented fish for direct soil feeding and pure fresh unprocessed sea water for leaf spray. Diluted salt is unstable .
If we use Shrimp paste and/or fermented fish the leaves tends to be thicker and stronger.
