Recommended Chaiyo Mix
At our Thailand nursery, we grow Catnip using 100% Chaiyo Universal Substrate.
Universal Substrate provides a clean and consistent base for root growth. For best results, use Chaiyo Universal Substrate when repotting bare root Catnip and adjust watering based on your growing environment.
How Cats Can Enjoy Catnip
Once the plant is established, you can snip a small amount of fresh leaf for your cat to smell or rub on toys and scratchers. Offer in moderation and supervise your cat, especially the first few times.
Some cats may roll, rub, sniff, lick or chew catnip, while some cats may not react much. Avoid letting cats destroy young plants before they are well established. If your cat eats too much and shows stomach upset, remove the catnip and allow them to rest.
Harvesting Tip
Snip leaves before flowering for stronger aroma. You can also harvest flowering tops for drying.
Important Note
This is a live plant. Plant size, shape and fullness may vary slightly from photos. Bare root Catnip must be repotted as soon as possible after receiving.
