PAMPAS CHRISTMAS TREE TUTORIAL | How i DIY the trendy Pampas Grass trees

[@sophiamatt3138]

How and with what are you attaching the Pampas to the tree? Are you just sliding it in there and leaving it to hang whichever way it pleases?

@@sophiamatt3138 hiya, yeah! Because of the original faux tree branches underneath being tucked inwards, it allows the pampas stems to tuck in securely and they don’t move once you push them in how you want them! Just like a giant game of kerplunk (if you ever played that childhood game) haha!

Hi Dalton, Where did you get you pampas branches from? I've been looking online but seems like you can only buy one size. Are there different sizes to be bought? Thank you!

@@JeremyHernandez-c8q Hiya Jeremy, mine are foraged, not bought! I’m lucky enough that the local hospital I work for has pampas plants all around the car parks - they used to get chopped back by the gardener every November and binned before the bad rain/wind, so I asked if I could prune them back instead and keep some of the plumes - I did this 2 years running until I had enough for my tree; and I just dried them out and now make sure I preserve the plumes each year for my tree! Sorry, not much help to answer your question 🙈 check out local places though and ask for permission, or, pampas does need to be pruned before bad weather otherwise it won’t plume as well the following year, if you see neighbours with plants, I’m sure they’d be grateful of the free gardening and you get some pampas at the same time - win win 👏🏽
