The objective of this study is to find soil quality that suitable for planting small leaved mangrove by measuring rate of survival and growth. Study site perform at Modtanoy school during 4 November 2022 to 13 January 2023. Mangrove pods were planted at three 1.2 x 3 rectangular plots. First plot contained with costal sandy soil, second plot contained with semi costal soil and the third contained loamy mangrove forest soil and all three treatments were planted with 200 mangrove pods each. Data of shoots and number of leaves were measuring once a week and last for 10 weeks. N P K, soil pH and organic matter were also measured before and after experiment of three plots and found that the shoot and number of leaves growth rate were not different in all the three plots. Mangrove seeding in the first plot shown most survival rate among of them and also soil pH found no different before and after experiment. But, only N element in the first plot found reducing after experiment, it also shown that survival rate in the first plot is good between the three plots.
