How to care for your beautiful pampas grass 

Beinga 90's girl, I was brought up with the whispers of the adults gossiping about the neighbour who had pampas grass in their front garden. It wasn't unitl I was in my teens I realised why. 

But in recent years pampas grass has become one of the faster growing trends for the home, salons, and even weddings, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.

I totally get the attraction of how its come back on trend, but for me I love my colours, and like to have a statement piece in the room. Thats exactly how I came up with my beautiful vibrant pampas grass cloud, which hangs on my bedroom wall, its the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing at night. 

Pampas grass is not only beautiful, and on trend, but its also very environmentally friendly, it last for many years, aslong as its looked after properly, and it can be repurposed very easily.

Taking care of your pampas grass

GIVE IT A SHAKE 

• When your arrangement first arrives it will have being a little squashed from the packaging, I try my hardest to reduce as much as this as possible. But before you go any further, remove it from the packagin carefully, give it a good shake, (outside ideally). This is to make it as fluffy as possible

HAIRSPRAY (yes hairspray)

• I will have already sprayed your arrangement for you before packaging, to help with as much loss as possible. I reccomend about every 6 months or so, give your pampas grass a light spray with hairspray, ensuring to keep your distance from the pampas grass, (we don't want any hard clumps). It just helps to reduce the loss.

Where to hang or place your pampas grass.

• There is two fundamental rules about pampas grass, keep it away from directly sunlight especially the coloured arrangements, as this can bleach them, and lose colour.
• Also keep them away from moisture, as this can make the go moldy, which we don't want that. 
• also think about heat, don't place them directly over radiators or anywhere with direct heat, so if you are in a salon think about this with hairdryers, etc...
• think about high traffic areas, don't place it somewhere people or animals are going to continuiously brush past it, as this will cause shedding.

You do not need to water the pampas grass, as it is a dried product. 

Go and enjoy your beautiful arrangement, and remeber to always be bold and wild and stand out from the crowd.
