Abstract
Mangroves are a unique ecosystem in coastal areas and are influenced by tides. This study aims to study and determine the effect of plant spacing that is useful for increasing growth for the mangrove ecosystem of R. apiculata. This research was conducted from December 2020 to February 2021 on the coast of the Langkat Regency, Pangkalan Susu District, Pulau Sembilan, North Sumatra. This study employed a totally random design (CRD) with distance treatment (J) consisting of (a) A1 (plant distance beach 37 m), (b) A2 (plant distance 38 m), (c) A3 (plant distance 39 m), (d) A4 (distance from the beach 40 m) (e) A5 (plant distance 41 m). Based on the results, the study showed that the highest average value of height was at A1 (plant distance 37m) with value 44.23 cm, the highest average of diameter was at A1 (plant distance 37m) with value 12.35 mm and the highest growth of number of leaf was at A1 (plant distance) with value 36 leaves. The percentage of plant growth was obtained at 100%. Observational data on measurements of height, diameter, number of leaves, and leaf area, showed that the treatment at the spacing of the plants could increase the growth of R. apiculata seeds. Based on the study's results, the ideal spacing for use in planting or rehabilitating mangroves on R. apiculata seedlings was in treatment A1 (plant distance 37 m)
