How to Propagate Meadow horsetail?
(Equisetum pratense)
Meadow horsetail, also known as Meadow horsetail
Propagation of meadow horsetail is typically achieved through sowing. To ensure healthy growth, use fresh spores collected during the optimal sporulation period. Surface sow these on a moist, sterile growing medium, ideally in a cold frame. Patience is key, as germination can be a slow process. Consistent moisture levels are crucial, so water gently to avoid disturbing the delicate spores. Transplant the young plants once they have established a robust root system and are large enough to handle.
