My red mangrove has no leaves what do I Do????

[divemasterjim]

Ordered 3 red mangrove 3 weeks ago from live aquaria.com. One had no leaves and I thought they would sprout. As of yet nothing has happen, im affraid it is going to die. Is there anything I can do?
Do I cut the top or somthing? or will it just grow on its own?
The other 2 are doing fine.

this is a great article on mangoves you might want to read. I wouldnt worry about it unless leaves dont appear after the 6th week. http://www.twolittlefishies.com/images/mangrove_manual.pdf

they should be fine. i heard these plants stress easily. make sure you spray the leaves on the plant once or twice a day. in the wild they get the humid moisture naturally..
