Thank you 🙏
Love this information on how to propagate horsetail Reed it’s a good structural plant and looks great. We can save money now we can grow our own. No need to buy more! Thanks
Thanks
I've just installed a barrel pond and I'm in the process of building up the plantlife around it and installing suitable wet loving plants around it. I'll be propagating this and clumping bamboo in pots to form a screen from the rest of the garden and create a separate area. Very helpful😉
Sounds cool 😎, enjoy
Happy new year mark,looking forward to new videos 😊🐟🐠🐡
thank you, it means a lot,
happy new year to you and your loved ones!!!
Becky Ezra thank you, it means a lot, happy new year
Best video because it shows the inside ❤❤❤
Thanks
Awesome advice and information on today's video, I will be getting some of this for my pond
Its one of my favourites, i forgot to say it was around before the dinosaurs
Thanks for the information. I got what I was looking for!
Thank you for your time
Thanks Mark, Yr Video motivates me to propagate this plant and attempt a pond project which I failed at 20 yrs ago and gave up. Bought some plants from a lady who was struggling to survive the COVID19 business crisis in Bangalore, India. Looking forward to watching more of Yr already posted videos. Wishing U Good Luck in these Difficult Times and Sending Blessings for the Ideas U have shared which lifts My Spirit Today. Cheers 🎉🙏🏾
Thank you very much, it’s my pleasure, thank you for taking the time to comment and let us know how you get on.
video and very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you it means the world
Hi Mark - Great videos and really informative. My Dad has a hell of a lot of horsetail growing in his lake. The previous owner of the house planted it, but it's taken over, to the extent that when a sheep in the neighbouring field came into the garden, it mistook the horsetail for long grass, fell in the water and subsequently died. The lake is pretty large and forms part of the local water table, eventually ending up at a nearby water treatment works. How would he maintain the horsetail on such a large scale? Would there be a way to kill it or cut it back without chemicals? Many thanks in advance.
I added this to my pond it's also medicinal and it is to Florida but like you said it can be invasive.
It sure is
Thumbs up friend 👍👍
Thank you 👍🏻
Happy new year
Ancient Gaming thanks right back at you.
I heard that this plant propagates very quickly and can easily choke out all the other plants in a pond, even in Europe.
The massive equisetum wall you're sitting by seems to confirm that.
I absolutely love the way this plant looks, but I hesitate to get one.
Not at all this species is a slow grower, you have to put in big clumps. This was over 150 pots planted two years before hand
I have these in my pond. They haven’t choked any of my other plants. I’m uk based. I only have one plant that’s a proper spreader in my pond and that’s a cotula. The cotula came mixed with a few other plants including the horsetail. I had to separate the cotula because it outgrew everything else and began hiding the other plants it came with. Lovely plant though. But yeah, the horsetail is a nice slow grow. This video has given me the idea to break some of mine down and spread them around a little.
Can you take the sections with new shoots at nodes and just lay the branch horizontally covered with a little dirt or do those sections also need to be planted upright? Thanks and great video!
Yes you can!
I've seen this in waterways in mk and was concerned it might be a bamboo, but this is reassuring
Yes, some people call it bamboo, it’s evergreen and looks like a small version
Hi mark, i’m new to ponds as I inherited one. Will they grow in gravel?
Yes, they will start to grow in gravel. The water need nutrients however as they grow. Watch this video, czcams.com/video/n7-AtVJUVjE/video.html
Hi thank you for the video...could you pls name the creeper at 0:24 along with the horse tail ?!
Its watercress (or i also use creeping jenny)
The Pond Advisor Thank you
Hi Mark great vid…
I have my horsetail in a builders bucket then in a large square plastic container filled roughly half way wit water. I get some of them turning black/grey.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? And what and how often do you feed these.
Many thanks
In advance.
B
Yes the black is not enough food or wind burn, I feed once a year with aquascape fertiliser
@@ThePondAdvisor many thanks for getting back to me…
I’ll try that.
Hi Mark sorry it’s a mine field re the aqua scape… liquid, pellet ahhh
Could you let me know where you get yours from.. as I say I’ve only got a couple of buckets so don’t know even how much to buy…
Sorry think you need to lead me though this one.
Many thanks
B
Thank you for sharing. I am from Chicago and would like to know where can I buy this plant.
Online or aquascape in St. Charles
Thank you for the fast reply. 👍🙏
@@jovanperic4214 my pleasure
I am in florida, I have mine in a container outside, should I put this in full sun, partial shade, shade, right now, we're in our rainy season, I'm getting a lot of mixed advice via: videos. Help
Partial shade in Florida, would be best for evergreen foliage plants. The brighter colours need the light more. In the UK we can grow in full sun and shade
@@ThePondAdvisor thank you for the reply 👍
Hi
I've just put this in my pond and the wind has bent it over does it recover? And would you recommend I support it somehow? Many thanks
Yes, I would if you can help shelter the plant, as it prefers still damp air, instead of fast dry air
@@ThePondAdvisor thanks for the response
My pleasure
If I plant these in a planter, should I cut back in the fall?
Follow the four Ds
convergent evolution with bamboo.
The tips of my horsetail bamboo become yellow...why is this and what should I do to avoid it?
Feed it, shelter it, more water it could be any of them or simple old age! That’s how the ever green plants tend to die back.
My cuttings got mixed up. Is there a way to tell which way is up?
Easy to look at the cuttings and put them up against the plant nodes that are not cut. You can always cut straight on bottom cuttings and at an angle 📐
my cuttings are dying off. it’s fall here and 50F. I have them in wet soil in a big pot. why are they dying?
Did you do the same as the video? Have they dried out
In which country it is avalible
I am not sure, I have seen it in a few countries, UK, Europe, US, Mexico and Canada
What's your height daddy?
5’ 10” son
@@ThePondAdvisor you're yummy, daddy
There are horsetails species that are native to Florida so they would not be invasive. Aggressive maybe but not invasive. Invasive implies they are not native and will invade the local ecosystem.
Do u know where I can buy these horsetails in fl near Tampa area
