Care tips for dried pampas grass
Tip 1 - Lint-free pampas grass
Dried pampas grass tends to lose its fine hairs and buds over time. In short: it lint. The use of hairspray is recommended so that you can enjoy the decorative ornamental plant for a long time. Because it not only keeps the hairstyle in shape, but also the plumes of pampas grass. The hairspray is sprayed on about three to four days after unpacking. To prolong the effect, hairspray can be applied again after six months.
Tip 2 - Fluffy pampas grass
Don't be disappointed when your much-awaited pampas grass arrives in the mail. It looks flat and crumpled from shipping. This is completely normal. Arrange the dry grass in a vase and be patient. After only three to four days, the plume will open and appear in all its elegance. Every now and then the fronds can be loosened up with a gentle breeze from the hair dryer.
Tip 3 - Increase durability
How long does a bundle of dried pampas grass last? That always depends on the quality of the dried flower. Good products like our recommendations last about three years. Since they are of natural origin and the conditions vary from room to room, the value sometimes differs. You should change the bouquet when even large amounts of hairspray no longer prevent fluff. At some point even the most beautiful bouquet crumbles to dust.

Such dried flowers, although cheap at first glance, do not look healthy and decay much faster.
