Pond Plants: Horsetail

[@joyceshaw1286]

So benefit is aggressive growth ? Will the roots grow and clean nutrients?

[@stacyrosa6672]

I love this stuff! My garden is a series of fairy and mystical viniettes . Horsetail really adds to that Etherial feel that I'm going for.

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

As long as you can control it.

Great video. Thank you. Thiinking about planting this in my self contained bog metal container bog filter (4x2x2 steel trough). It is constantly fed water from the pond. Would this work on texas?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

I think that it would do fine.

[@joyceshaw1286]

Do they filter or clean the ponds of algae?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

All plants help to absorb some nutrients out of the water that can help to "starve" the algae.

I have some horsetail in planters with broad-leafs is there any herbicides for broadleafs that the horsetail can tolerate?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

Not that I know of, but you may want to try lightly spraying the broadleafs with an herbicide but be careful not to get it on the horsetail. Most plants absorb the chemical through the leaf, then it spreads throughout the sap system of the plant, and kills the plant roots and all. Try a small bit first, use a paper or something similar behind the leaf of the plants that you want to kill as to keep the spray off everything else.

Is it aquarium safe?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

I would say that it's going to grow too big for an aquarium.

Thank you

Horsetail has nutritional value for health and cosmetics.

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

Thank you for the comment. That's interesting. In what ways is it used? I did hear something about that at some point, I just don't remember.
