Equisetum Hymale-9 cm pots

Product Information

Equisetum Hymale are a common scouring rush, Horsetail, evergreen marginal pond plant with attractive green and black banded stems. They are suitable for large lakes, streams and ponds in full sun or partial shade, but must be kept containerised if in a small garden pond. They grow to a height of 120 cm and are at a water depth of 0-10 cm over the crown.

Aquatic Soil

Aquatic soil is heavy in weight an will therefore increase the cost of postage and packing. Heavy sand or clay based top soil from your back garden will make a fine planting substrate, molehill soil is even better. NEVER use peat based soil or your plants will float up out of your newly planted baskets/planting bags.

Aquatic Top Gravel

Aquatic gravel is heavy in weight and will therefore increase the cost of postage and packing. Top gravel is used as a decorative finish or as an added protection and deterrent to inquisitive/plant destructive koi-carp and other large fish. We only sell 4-6mm grade aquatic gravel as any grade larger will inhibit plant growth. NEVER place large pebbles or stones on top of your Aquatic Planting Baskets
