"enhalus acoroides" is dioecious and able to reproduce sexually and asexually. "enhalus acoroides" create small isolated patches containing 25 to 200 shoots through lateral rhizome spreading. it can also produce pollen like other seagrasses but it is unique in that it is the only species of seagrasses that surface pollinates. during this process, the male flower will break off from the spathe and rise to the surface where it has numerous flowers inside its hydrophobic inflorescences. once at the surface it will release its pollen to a female inflorescence where it has reached the surface of the water by means of an elongated stalk surface. the developing fruit is drawn under the water to finish ripening. flowering is a year round phenomenon and the amount of flowers being produced are strongly related to variations in mean water temperatures.
