An extraordinary waterside plant. That's the barred horsetail (Equisetum japonicum). The minimalist plant is characterised by green, hollow stems, with black stripes. The plant is winter-hardy and evergreen. The aquatic plant is a water, waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the plant up to 40 cm deep in the pond. The aquatic plant also does well under water. We can plant water horsetail all year round. The flowers bloom in the summer. The aquatic plant likes to be moist but not completely underwater.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water's hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. Put the plant in full sun or partial shade.
