Use the Jade Field Gardening Plot

You can only plant Horsetails in A Path of Value: Orderly Meadow. Buy the Orderly Meadow plot from the ''Riches of the Realm'' section of the Realm Depot and place it in your Serenitea Pot to begin planting!

Once you've planted the Horsetails, you'll have to wait 2 days and 22 hours for them to be fully grown. Do not harvest the Horsetails earlier than that because you will lose both the plant and the seed!
