Horsetail

Brief Description

Horsetail is a prehistoric-looking plant characterized by its jointed, hollow stems and whorled branches. It resembles a reed and can grow in dense clumps, often found in moist, shady areas.

Care Instructions

Horsetail prefers wet, acidic soil and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. It is best to keep the soil consistently moist and to prune the plant to control its spread, as it can be invasive.

Medicinal Value

Horsetail has been traditionally used to treat various ailments, including urinary tract issues and bone health, due to its high silica content, which may support bone strength and healing.
