About Cat Grass

Grow a fresh patch of cat grass with five separate seed refill packets. Use one packet to start a new sowing, then keep the remaining packets for later rounds. The exact grass species and sowing rate should be checked on the supplied packet.

When to Plant Cat Grass Seeds

Grow indoors year-round when you can provide light and moderate room temperatures. Sow a fresh tray whenever you want a new crop.

Where to Plant Cat Grass Seeds

Use a stable, shallow container with drainage and a clean seed-starting medium. Place in bright indirect light where pets cannot overturn the tray.

How to Plant Cat Grass Seeds

Check the packet for the cereal-grass species and any seed-soaking instruction.

Spread seeds evenly over premoistened medium, then cover to the depth stated on the packet.

Keep moist, not waterlogged, until shoots emerge; remove any temporary cover promptly.

Use the packet to confirm final spacing; a general reference is follow the actual seed packet.

How to Harvest Cat Grass

Offer the tray when the blades are upright and well rooted, usually after the shoots are several inches tall. Trim a little if needed, and replace the whole tray when it becomes tired or develops mold.

How to Care for Cat Grass

Water lightly as needed and offer the grass only when it is well rooted and tall enough for your cat to nibble. Discard the tray if mold develops; start a fresh one rather than reusing stale medium.

Companion Plants

Keep this pet-use crop in its own clean container, separate from ornamental plants.

Growing details can vary by seed lot and climate. The supplier has not confirmed the grass species for this SKU; use the actual packet for species and sowing rate. University extension gardening resources
