Equisetum pratense aka Meadow Horsetail

New growth will sprout from the top of the Meadow Horsetail as it grows vertically.

Meadow Horsetail’s native range is Arctic and temperate regions of Europe, including Britain, N. America, central and northern Asia.

Meadow Horsetail should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Meadow Horsetail loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Meadow Horsetail prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
