Hobby gardeners who want to have some of the beautiful pampas grass in their garden for a long time should now think about winter preparations.
How - we reveal that here.
Autumn is arriving and the time is running out to make the garden * winter-proof.
But it is not too late.
In addition to the lemon tree or the olive tree, the pampas grass should now also be made winter-proof.
How exactly you let the pampas grass overwinter in the tub and in the garden, explain step by step.
Hibernate pampas grass - in the garden
Similar to the hemp palm, the leaves of pampas grass are tied together. The difference here, however, is that the leaves of this plant should not be trimmed. The garden portal
mein-schoener-garten.de
points out that otherwise water could run into the stalks. As the portal describes, the liquid could cause great damage inside. To prevent this from happening, it is better to
tie off the stalks from bottom to top without any further preparatory work
. It is best to tie the pampas grass tightly together. The main advantage is that the plant is naturally protected from moisture.
When tying up the stalks, it is important to think of the appropriate protective clothing.
Some worries are sharp-edged and pose a great risk of injury.
It is also worth tying the pampas grass with a large and stable rope.
You may have to do this work in pairs.
After the pampas grass has been tied up, you should
protect
the
ground from frost
.
For this it is worth using sticks or dry leaves.
