But don’t be afraid to leave them a little longer even if you are using them on a tabletop, as they will look beautiful. Long stems are beautiful on the floor, and shorter ones work well for tabletop. Your stems are now ready for decorating!! I would recommend cutting them in different lengths to make arranging in a vase easier. Step 5: Final StepĪfter a couple of weeks have passed, spray your pampas grass plumes one more time with the hairspray and let dry. So, I managed my impatience and just followed this step verbatim. Everything that I read said at least 2 weeks. This is the hardest part! I didn’t think you would need to wait this long, but I just followed this process anyway to ensure they were completely dried out.

Additionally, you should choose a spot that doesn’t get too much sun. Some tutorials I read said that you could rubber band them together in small groups for this, but I felt it was better to leave each individual for the most air circulation and proper exposure.

We just used a portable clothes rack and clothes hangers with clips on them to hang them upside down.

Hang the pampas grass plumes upside down in a well-circulated area. But really once they were in their vase, we haven’t had too much of an issue with shedding. Keep in mind, that the more you mess with them, the more shedding you will see. A couple might still shed but this step dramatically reduces the number of particles you will find near your pampas once you bring it inside. This helps protect the plumes from shedding once they are dried and in your home. Lightly spray the pampas grass plumes with aerosol hair spray. Some people find that tying the plant up with twine or string helps the cutting process, but we just carefully cut without tying them up. Pampas grass leaves are surprisingly sharp. Also, gloves and long sleeves are highly recommended as this can be a very prickly process. You may want to vary the length to make it easier to decorate with, but I would recommend cutting them long so you can have flexibility later. We cut ours in the late fall and it was great timing. The best time to cut is when the plumes are nice and full.
