Product Description

Horsetail Plant

Horsetail Plant is unique with distinctive, hollow, segmented stems that are rough to the touch. At each joint it has a dark, scale-like sheath. These jointed stems look much like a horse’s tail or a bamboo shoot. Horsetail spreads aggressively, so keep it restrained by planting it in an aquatic container. Horsetail Plant is a marginal plant preferring wet, boggy soil, and pond edges.

 

Plants for Fish Pond

Plants for your fish pond provide a natural environment and shade for your fish. Plants also provide fish with hiding spots from predators. Soaking up fish waste and extra minerals, plants keep green algae from growing, helping to keep your water clear. Floating leaves give shade to the water, keeping it cooler and stopping algae growth. Fish also often use underwater plants to lay their eggs, as plants offer protection as well. Last of all plants in your pond create natural beauty for you to enjoy!
