- 1). Begin by taking your Pampas seeds and soaking them in warm water for an hour to encourage successful germination.
- 2). Fill the flower pots with a mixture of soils. You need a soil that dries quickly and is not heavy or something prone to packing down tightly. Don’t use clay. A mixture containing equal parts potting soil, compost, and moss with a little few handfuls of perlite thrown into each pot will work well.
- 3). Push two seeds down about 3 inches into the soil of each pot. Place them in unobstructed full sunlight and keep them out of the rain. Check the soil moisture by pressing your finger all the way into the soil and then removing it. If it comes out wet then the seeds need no water. Only water it when your finger comes out dry. In a month you should have several good sized seedlings growing.
- 4). Water the plants regularly. Every few days should be OK. Fertilize each plant once a week with 15-15-15 NPK fertilizer as they need a lot of nutrition and grow quickly. In a year you should have Pampas grass clumps at least two feet tall. In another year you will need to get a bigger pot or plant the grass outside. They need heavy sunlight and warm tropical or sub tropical weather to thrive outdoors.
