Cortaderia selloana aka Pampas Grass

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Pampas Grass, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Pampas Grass should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Pampas Grass loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Pampas Grass prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Pampas Grass is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

Clumping is a defining characteristic of the Pampas Grass, with new growth appearing from the soil surrounding the primary plant.

Pampas Grass’s native range is S. America - temperate areas. Sometimes persists in Britain as a garden throw-out[17].
