Care and Maintenance of Dried Pampas Grass
How to extend the shelf life of dried pampas grass?
While dried pampas grass doesn't require as much care as live plants, there are ways to keep it looking beautiful for longer. Here are our tried-and-true tips:
Avoid humid rooms – excessive moisture can cause mold to develop on the buds. If you want to place pampas grass in the bathroom , choose the stabilized version, which is more moisture-resistant.
Protect from direct sunlight – prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause the grass's natural color to fade. A location with diffused light is optimal.
Our customers who follow the above tips enjoy the beautiful appearance of their pampas grass for up to 3-4 years.
Common problems and their solutions
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Crumbling of inflorescences | Too dry air, mechanical damage | Lightly sprayed with special varnish, handled with care |
| Color dulling | Exposure to sunlight | Moving to a place with diffused light |
| The appearance of mold | Too high humidity | Moving to a drier place, gently drying with a hairdryer |
| Unpleasant smell | Moisture, lack of ventilation | Ventilate, place in a dry place |

Inspiring compositions with pampas grass
Combining with other dried and stabilized plants
Pampas grass blends beautifully with other dried and stabilized plants, creating striking arrangements. Our experience indicates that it looks best when combined with:
- Stabilized eucalyptus – whose silver-green leaves contrast beautifully with the creamy inflorescences of the grass
- Stabilized ruscus – adding a deep green color and a variety of textures to the composition
- Dried dill – whose delicate, openwork flowers complement the fluffiness of pampas grass
- Dried bunkania – introducing warm, brown tones to the composition
When creating compositions with different plants, it's important to pay attention to proportions and contrasts. Pampas grass should usually be the dominant element due to its size and distinctive texture.
