description
|
The Indian Almond Tree (Terminalia catappa) also called Sea Almond or Tropical Almond belongs to the untrue mangroves and is very well known because of its leaves for the use in aquariums.
This is a plant that grew from a imported seed but germinated in Austria. As just about 20 percent of the seeds from the Indian Almond Tree germinate and the seeds need special conditions to germinate, it is pretty hard to get some of those plants, at least in Austria.
But once germinated it is pretty easy to grow them and you can keep it like a normal indoor plant.
