Using Horsetail to Cover Floral Foam

Video Transcript

"GREG HAREM: Another option of covering your oasis in your container is horsetail, or its proper name, Equisetum. You'll probably need about, I'd say, a bunch and a half to two bunches, depending on how thick the horsetail is. Just kind of bounce it on the table, get it all flat, and you need to cut off just the very ends. Unfortunately with this, it does get rather messy. Okay, just kind of put it in your container. You want it up a little bit and cut again. And all you do is insert it between the glass and the Oasis. It gives it kind of a bamboo kind of feel to it, and you just kinda do this all the way around. You want to make sure it's very tight 'cause this is what's going to hold your oasis into place so it's not sliding around in your container. Considering how heavy tropicals can be, you definitely want security. And I'm just going to throw the rest of 'em back here. Okay. Again, just chop off. Oh, a little straggler there. Again, just keep stuffing the sides. Then once all your sides are secure, you just cut to the very rim or just a little bit above the container. Again, it's just a nice way to decorate your container."
