Hello. Thanks for the original and useful tutorial! Can you tell me what kind of dyes you used? Is there a link to them? Are they water-soluble or alcohol-based? In general, what is their composition? (Sorry for the crooked translation, if anything. I used a translator)
Hi 😊 sure! I used liquid food coloring (and water) like these: amzn.eu/d/3XjBJa0 They are used for baking usually, so very safe and work perfectly with coloring pampas grass :) You can use any brand of food coloring! Just experiment with the amount of color you put into the water, its a lot of fun! 😊 If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
Hi @pandarush. ! that is actually a really good question. I have not tried it yet but I‘m in my little plant studio on the weekend and I can try it out and tell you how it went 😁 Because it could be that a little bit of the food coloring comes out but if so there are also other colors that you could use instead :)
@the.sarahworld You are very kind to find out for me. THANK YOU so much! If the colors do run, what do you suggest? I've watched people that boil water, put the water in a large bin, dissolve Rit dye, and soak the pampas. Then let the whole thing dry for days. I liked your way of doing it!
sorry the holidays were crazy 😅 I took some colored pampasgrass with me and I will try it out! If it looses color you could also use textile colors or acrylics instead of food coloring, they should stay on the grass but they are a bit more difficult to apply. If they aren‘t totally dissolved in water you can‘t use them with a spray bottle, you would have to use a bucket to dip them 🤔 We will find a way! 😊
So I tried it out with the food-coloring Pampasgrass and unfortunately it dyed my sink in all the colors immediately. So definitely not made for rainy weather 🥲 Maybe I can find some of my textile and acrylic colored pampasgrass in the next days and try them too. because acrylics should definitely keep their color but textile colors are easier to use
hi ottomans87! unfortunately I don‘t know how they bleach them (the pampasgras is naturally very bright but the bunny tails get bleached) but that‘s something I also want to find out :) An alternative is to put the plants out in the sun for as long as possible and they will also get brighter!
hi Yesetly Manriquez ☺spray paint and pampas grass is a weird combination unfortunately :( it sticks only to the outside of the grass and makes it look like sticky cotton candy (in a bad way) but spray paint does work great with not-fluffy plants! :) but I only tried it with two different brands of spray paint, maybe I'll experiment a bit more :)
@the.sarahworld @the.sarahworld Hi Sarah! Gosh, I've written 4 replies of appreciation to you but they won't post. You are SO sweet for taking the time to find answers for water resistant colors. I learned from you about the spray bottle with the ultra fine mist. I'm going to buy one asap, instead of using a regular spray bottle. I saw big differences on your video when you compared the sprayers. Thank you!!!!
No I actually don‘t 😅 but a lot of people here have pampas grass in their gardens and I can get a lot when they decide to cut it. But I think they aren‘t really difficult to grow, our weather is crazy and the plants don‘t mind 🤷♀️
God bless you beautiful for sharing that idea simpel and not expensive at all❤❤❤

Hi Ana Zeldon, thank you so much 🥰 I used liquid food coloring, if thats what you mean :)
Good idea sarah dear Allah bless you❤
thank you!!
Where can I buy food coloring? Or are they just the normal food coloring.. hellppp
you can use any food coloring! the one thats already liquid is best, so you don‘t clog the spray bottle, but you can make any food coloring work :)
Good job...thank you...

How is the bleaching done?

What if I just use spray paint?

I'm happy to help! And in spring I will make more plant videos again 😁
