Barred horsetail

so attractive, love those bands

yes love horsetail - ours in my aquatubs :))))

great plant these, i do to Sticki :-)

cheers Paul :-)

very good medical uses too with them - arthritis apparently just one use

do they have to be in a bog garden??

are they, i didn't know that :-)

they do prefer boggy or damp conditions Sticki yes

read on google - loads of medical uses :))))))))))))

i will cheers mate, i do like things like that :-)

:)))))))))))))

I have quite dry, very free draining soil.

could do an aqua tub like Paul, as long as they get a damp condition they'll be fine...

thanks Hb :-)

yes really easy to do and works well in a pot - just a big roomy pot needed

Just a straight forward pot with water in? Or do you make a bog inside the pot?

a tub rather than pot I mean Sticki plant tub as you would with anything adding vermiculite around middle and just keep well watered - optional if you want to add small drainage - but no real need - worked for me for years now - have marsh Marrigold, cotton grass, horsetail and bulrush , and that corkscrew grass

So a very wet tub? I love marsh marigold.

yes - I add pebbles around top to stop too much stagnating - only smells if you distrub soil though :)))) will add pic of mine :))))

Might have to get one of these..I have arthritis in the wrists and thumb joints and slight osteoarthritis too :( Must read up about that Paul :)))

Thank you

Hi Sticki will get one for you by Weekend :))))
