Horsetail for Your Landscape? Great plant...but BE CAREFUL!

- Equisetum has many great attributes that make it a problem solver in many ways for your landscape. It also has medicinal uses as well. BUT be careful how and where you plant Horsetail, because it's incredibly invasive. Be careful of the proximity to other planters because it spreads very easily and rapidly.
Equisetum looks amazing as a single specimen in a plater or pot. And it goes incredibly well with modern architecture. It can be a problem solver for small narrow planter areas where other plants may grow too wide.
It can also be used as a bog plant along a creek bed in soggy soil.
I hope this vid was helpful..
Happy Planting!

![How to Get Rid of Horsetails [Weed Management]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dTpogMbziOE/mqdefault.jpg)
I love this plant. I bought it last year and it is in a pot. I took a shoot off to propagate it in another pot. I have some bamboo fencing that I stapled along my ugly fence and the green of the horse tail rush looks very pretty with the dry brown bamboo fencing in the background. It’s a beautiful plant in a pot👍🏻💖💖
I used to see these as a kid, but had no idea what they were. I always thought it was like a mini bamboo. Thanks for the video!
You're so right about it spreading. I'm up near Yosemite and our millpond has Equisetum almost all the way around the perimeter. When I moved here three years ago it was only on one side (the pond is about 100 feet long by 50 feet across).
A note about the color- it is indeed a vibrant green, but when it dies it fades and eventually goes white. Then when it begins to decompose each section breaks off at the joints, which remain black. This makes wherever it was growing look like it has thousands of dead cigarettes butts.
Good to know. Does new growth come in?
They have the power to literally lift housing foundation, so careful. I would never in a million years plant them in the wild
Lovely Plants ^^

Thank you for good sharing
Ty my son needed this for his project because of you he got 🥇place keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your great content! I was thinking of planting horsetail but did not know what the benefits or how invasive she could be. Thank you for all the knowledge you have share to all of us.
Heard its roots are incredibly deep.
yes it goes under driveways and walls. Trying to get rid of some now.
I like the striking look of this plant, bought some in Uk and it’s kept safely in a pot so it does not invade anywhere else.
I like your channel, very informative. Thanks for producing.
Many thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌱🌱🌱😎
@@BudgetPlantsI have horsetail and it’s great but native grass goes all around it. How can I kill native grass and not harm horsetail?
I planted them in my pond in mesh containers they do really in water.
The giant horsetail grows everywhere at my farm I am harvesting it this week to make a knf fpj 🤗 lovely video btw ❤
What is kind fpj?
Thanks for ds info about D's plant.❤❤❤
I love horsetail! Don’t see them too often at the nursery but I started a line of them along the side of my home where I did poured in place large concrete pavers and 3/8” gravel.
Awesome!! Yeah these are fantastic in the right application 🐴 🌱❤️
I've been searching for horsetail spores or rhizome from gardens online. Quite hard to find. I plan to buy a packet for propagation. Please is there a reliable source?
Sorry.. I wouldn’t be able to give you a reliable source. We deal mostly in quarts and liners for our growing grounds. Very rarely do we start from seed.
@@WatchTLCCRMOFFICIAL I'm in the UK and have loads of the stuff. If you want my opinion, I'd avoid horsetail as it is very, very invasive. If established in a pot, the spores can spread into paving and its quite hard to kill off, due to the structure of the rhizome.
@@andrewsheldon5275 I think the benefits outway the risks though. It detoxes aluminium which is themost common heavy metal toxin.
Does it damage walls or deckings?
Its very healthy for you
Love this plant for our modern concrete hard scape planters. Still not sure of optimal pruning. I’ve cut it near the base and it eventually comes back. I’ve also just left it alone between seasons here in PNW. Maybe I’ve answered my own question: do whatever you want as it’s nearly indestructible
Haha yup, pretty indestructible. For a clean mod look, just sheer the top in a straight line. Eventually, you may have to thin it out a bit. It can proliferate very fast, especially in the PNW where weather is optimal for this plant… So be careful!
This was great but i dont remember you saying anything about what type of soil and stuff to care
Just wondering if I put this in a pot with drainage holes I guess the root system could break free. Bought a pond container of this the other day now thinking it has the potential to root into and potentially through the liner. Only now realise what I have bought a thug!!!! Thinking now take it out of the pond dig out a marsh area and wrap the thug up securely with spare pond liner creating its own mini climate place back in marsh area . Hopefully a lifetime of under ground incarceration. Top growth is v architectural . Thanks for the video advising caution.
I learned a lot from you on this video, thank you. I’ll be contacting you soon 🥰
Awesome! 😎
What do you mean it spreads by spores? It will just magically appear somewhere else even when in a container?
thank you!🙂
From what I understand, it does not produce seeds or flowers. If I keep it in a container, how would it invade other spaces as said at 3:50?
Spores!
I landed here because I have an infestation of this monster. This plant should be banned! There is absolutely no way to keep it contained and avoid propagation. Before dandelions have flowers you will see a bunch of stems that look like asparagus. Within a couple of days they are about 6” tall. Their tip opens and the spores more as far the wind can take them.
Believe me, no one wants this monster near by. I will spread like fire and will be a pain to get rid of it.
great video 👌
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼😎
Might be a good walk or fence
There is some of this growing wild down the block by the railroad tracks, but I can't get it to grow in my yard. I think it's a little picky where it grows.
Try a container.
Needs moistness when first planted during the shock. It can take a couple of months to see new growth. Patience.
Toxic does not mean fatal!
I received some but will have to toss away
Great video. Loved it.
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼😎😎
Thanks perfect
Interesting video. Question please which variety could I plant in Houston TX in the landscape & or pot please.
You could do the hyemale, however you’d have to protect from harsh winter temps by covering or bringing inside. And as an indoor plant, it’s questionable for long periods of time. I’d say it’s a 50/50 in Houston.
@@BudgetPlants thanks for reply
We have horsetail planted in front of our home. It’s a super spreader for sure.
Great video! 😊
Cheers!! 🍻
Can I plant the horsetail directly into another bigger planter keeping it in the planter I got from the nursery?
Yes you can. Eventually, it will probably migrate into the larger pot and end up filling it up.
Would this work in a water trough to make a screen? Is it that invasive in Wisconsin zone 4?
Hi! Yes, these do work as a bog plant. Just be careful to keep them contained. This is an invasive plant and will naturalize an area.
@@BudgetPlantshis video and your comments are misleading.
These plants propagate via spores. It is borderline impossible to keep them contained. One would have to remove all the spore pods in early spring, every year! Those things growth extremely fast and mature in less than five days.
How do I know? I have them all over my yard and have been dealing with them for 3 years. Spent every afternoon last week removing the stems with spores before they opened. Easily one hour every day. Every day more stems, about two inches long in about 24 hours. It has been five or six straight days and now I have also to pull out the green stems. Most week killers do nothing. The ones that work are banned for residential use where I live.
I literally gave caution about planting this as it reproduces from spores and spreads by rhizomes lol. Thanks for watchin!
@@BudgetPlants I watched your video, and understood they spread from rhizomes, which can travel under those CONCRETE walks in your video. I asked specifically about them being planted in a metal water trough, not as a bog plant. Also , some plants are naturally classified as invasive in the warmer zones in which they grow, but not really in the lower zones. This is why I literally asked if it was THAT invasive in zone 4. Thanks to the @Petrvsco reply for the input on the spores too. His reply was more helpful than either of yours.
You said be careful several times. Exactly how do you do that?. I'd really like to understand
It’s very important to be mindful of where you plant Equisetum because it has the ability to spread into nearby planter spaces and overtake other shrubs and perennials. It’s very hard to eradicate once it has naturalized an area.
@@BudgetPlants I'm sorry I should have been better at asking a question. Should I put them in planters and bury the planters? Is there a root system that I have to worry about. Could I use it as a privacy fence? Do you suggest any tips on how to prevent it from getting too out of hand. Thank you
@@talithacumi1639 The recommendation I've seen is to _only_ grow it in containers and _only_ containers that have no drainage holes. That indicates to me is has crazy invasive capabilities
@@fitztastico thank you.
He’s right. We live in a townhome community and I’m constantly plucking the horsetail that has spread over to my neighbor’s yard.
I feel like if it's been around since the dinosaurs and is found on every continent then it's basically impossible for it to be invasive. Aggressive? yes, but not necessarily causing ecological harm
Yes!! It’s considered a prehistoric plant. There’s been fossils found of it. Super aggressive in bog-like areas. It was used medicinally by Native Americans and is still used today.
Lmao I got a stream going through my property with plenty of them I’m good😂
Can i can some of this herb watching from jamaica
I added it a year back. I have now removed it from my garden but I still see it cropping up here and there. How can I stop its spread :(
It’s really tough to eradicate without the use of herbicide. Otherwise the only option is to keep digging it up when you see any new sprouts coming up. Try to get it as deep as you can and try to get all the rhizomes as much as possible.
@@BudgetPlants I thought digging up is not a good idea. Just cut the part that starts to stick out of the ground. I thought thats what you said.
@pretty95138 definitely dig as deep as you can to remove the whole root system. Cutting it at ground level will encourage new growth.
@@BudgetPlants Thanks.
@@BudgetPlantsdo you have a herbicide you’d recommend? I need to eradicate. Landscaper said I’d regret putting these in and I definitely do. Love the way they look hate the spread
Why does the tips becoming brown?
Often times the brown tips come from pruning. It’s pretty unavoidable, but a sharp set of shears make it less apparent.
@@BudgetPlants Thank you 😊
Does it die back in winter?
Generally no, not in more temperate climates.
@@BudgetPlants how about zone 8?
Minature bamboo ish.
Don't listen to them say be careful. That is there way to stop you from using it.
I wanted to plant it in an empty birdbath. Would this work?
Yes! So long as it’s at least 4” of soil. And might be helpful to punch a few small drain holes in the bottom. The issue you might run into is it flopping over after several years of growth due to shallow roots. But worth a try!
@@BudgetPlants but it's made of cement! Maybe a plastic pot would be better
@@prettylagoonGotcha. Yes, maybe go plastic if drilling isn’t an option. A concrete bit usually goes through like butter so that may be worth a try 😊
@@travel-euphoria thank u!
its horrible its rife in my town in UK
It should be illegal to plant! It’s so invasive and extremely difficult to kill. I’ve got it in my backyard, which is a food garden.
Invasive shoot
😂i use horse tail for health READ THE BOOK ,, HEALTH THROUGH GOD'S PHARMACY'S
Noooooo! Don't buy it. It's a horrible weed that you can't get rid off!!!
its an amazing plant with amazing medicinal properties
