Water:
Native to moist environments, horsetails thrives in consistently humid conditions, requiring weekly watering for optimal growth. It often serves as a pioneer species in outdoor settings, indicating healthy soil and water quality and adapting well to wet soils.
Propagation:
Propagation of horsetails generally uses division or spores, requiring moist, well-drained soil, shade, and cool conditions. Key challenges include managing invasive spread and spore germination. For division, preserve roots, separate sections, replant at the same depth, and maintain moisture while monitoring growth.
