FAQ's
CAT GRASS GROWING AND CARE
How do I grow my cat grass kit?
For the best chance at success, please refer to the growing instructions received with your specific kit.
Add the soil to your planter and moisten with warm (not hot) water — about 5–6 oz. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff the soil, remove 2–3 tablespoons and set aside. Sprinkle seeds evenly, cover lightly with 1/8" of soil, and press gently. Place in a warm, semi-dark spot (away from direct light but not in complete darkness, which can cause mold). For faster results, loosely cover with plastic wrap until first sprouts appear — no more than 1–2 days. Once sprouts show, remove the wrap and move to a sunny location.
How long does it take to grow?
The grass typically reaches 4–5 inches tall in about 5–7 days.
How often should I water it?
Water sparingly. The soil retains moisture well, so only water when the soil begins to dry out. Avoid overwatering.
Does it need sunlight?
Yes. Place it in a bright, well-lit location. Move sprouts into sunlight as soon as they emerge.
Can I grow cat grass indoors all year?
Yes. Cat grass can be grown indoors year-round as long as it gets enough light and warmth.
Can it be grown indoors?
Yes, it is designed for indoor growing.
Can it be grown outdoors?
Yes, but partial shade is recommended. Direct sun and heat can dry it out quickly and shorten its lifespan.
Can I use this as lawn grass?
No. This product is intended for pet grass growing, not lawn repair.
What temperature is best for growing?
Ideal growing temperatures are between 72°F and 78°F (22°C–26°C).
Will cat grass stop my cat from eating outdoor grass or escaping outside?
Every cat is different, but providing cat grass indoors may satisfy some cats'
desire to graze.
What is the growing medium?
The kit includes a coconut coir compressed growing disc that expands into loose planting media when hydrated.
Where does the soil come from?
The soil is globally sourced and sterilized to meet strict sanitation and safety standards.
What size are the coco coir pellets?
We have two different sized discs –
Our standard size discs are 2.36" in diameter and expand when water is added to fill about 7-9 ounces or a 3-4" pot.
Our slightly larger 3.1” in diameter discs are used in our larger ceramic planter and our grow bag kits.
CAT GRASS MOLD PREVENTION & TROUBLESHOOTING
How do I prevent mold?
• Squeeze excess water from the soil before planting.
• Avoid overwatering.
• Keep the planter in a bright location.
• Do not water again until the grass is established.
What should I do if mold appears?
Reduce watering, increase light exposure, and maintain temperatures between 72°F and 78°F. A light dusting of cinnamon or a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution may help control mold.
Is moldy grass safe for pets?
Remove or treat the mold before allowing pets to eat the grass.
Are the white hairs on the seeds mold?
Not necessarily. Newly sprouted seeds often develop fine root hairs. If the growth spreads into the soil, it may be mold.
Why is my grass thin or weak?
Insufficient sunlight is the most common cause.
CAT GRASS LIFESPAN & REGROWTH
How long does the grass last?
With proper care, the grass typically lasts 3–6 weeks.
Why does the grass eventually die?
The grass uses up the available nutrients and space in the soil. This is a natural process.
Can it regrow after it withers?
No. Once the grass dies, new seeds must be planted.
Can I make it last longer?
A larger container, cooler temperatures, adequate light, and careful watering can help extend its lifespan.
Can the soil be reused?
No. The soil is generally depleted by the root system and is not recommended for reuse.
CAT GRASS SEEDS & PLANTING
What seeds are included?
A certified USDA organic, non-GMO blend of wheat, oats, rye and barley.
How many plantings are included?
All our Ceramic Planter kits and Wooden Planter kits come with enough seeds and soil for one planting. We also sell 3 pack options if you would like to grow more grass more often.
Are refill kits available?
Yes, refill kits with multiple plantings are available separately. Available in the following options: BPA-Free Planters with trays, with Grow Bags or just as a refill kit.
How many seeds should I plant?
Use one full seed packet per growing container.
Can I save unused seed packets for later?
Yes. Growing one container at a time is recommended.
Is pre-grown grass available?
No, pre-grown grass is not currently offered.
CAT GRASS PLANTERS
Does the planter have drainage holes?
No. Our ceramic planters do not have drainage holes because the soil is highly
absorbent. To prevent mold, always squeeze excess water from the soil before
planting and avoid overwatering.
Are the ceramic planters’ dishwasher safe?
Our ceramic planters are top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is
recommended to extend its lifespan.
Can I use my own planter?

container.

The Cat Ladies ceramic products are independently tested by an accredited third-party laboratory for both lead and cadmium, including surface testing in line with California Proposition 65. Our products consistently test well below the permissible limits and are confirmed safe for their intended use.
Will the Wooden Planter warp if wet?
Since it is wood, it can warp if it becomes too wet for too long. It is very mportant to use the provided plastic tray to prevent warping.
Can you reuse your planter?
Yes. You can reuse your planter but before doing so remove the old soil and clean the planter with soapy water and dry it.
CAT GRASS PET SAFETY & USAGE
Is the grass safe for cats?
Yes, it is safe for cats of all ages, including kittens.
Is it safe for dogs or birds?
Yes. Most dogs, birds, and other pets can enjoy the grass, provided they do not
have grain allergies.
How do I offer the grass to my pet?
Place the planter near their food or favorite resting area. You can also trim
pieces and offer them directly.
My pet eats the soil too. Is that okay?
The soil is non-toxic, but it's best to discourage soil consumption. Offering
trimmed grass can help.
Will the grass make my cat vomit?
Cat grass is intended to support digestion, but some cats may still regurgitate
after eating it, depending on their digestive needs.
Does it contain catnip?
No. Cat grass and catnip are completely different plants.
Is cat grass the same as wheatgrass?
This is a blend of seed. It has Wheat, Oat, Rye and Barley. We do offer an organic wheatgrass-only bag under a sub-brand called Rose and Branch, which is available to purchase on Amazon, Chewy and Walmart.
