(2 Pack) Kitty Grass Triticum Aestivum Cat Grass 12cm Pots

Triticum Aestivum, commonly known as cat grass or wheatgrass, is a popular indoor plant that is safe for cats to eat. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Triticum Aestivum healthy and thriving:

1. Light: Triticum Aestivum prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light, but it may not grow as quickly or produce as many leaves. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.

3. Humidity: Triticum Aestivum does not require high humidity but benefits from being misted once a week to keep the leaves from drying out.

4. Temperature: Triticum Aestivum prefers cool temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.

5. Fertilizer: You do not need to fertilize Triticum Aestivum regularly as it does not require high amounts of nutrients. However, you can fertilize it once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote growth.

6. Pruning: You can trim the grass to control its size and shape or to remove any yellowing or dead leaves.

7. Soil: Triticum Aestivum prefers a well-draining soil mix. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.

8. Cat Care: Triticum Aestivum is a safe and beneficial plant for cats to nibble on. It provides cats with a source of fiber and aids in their digestion. However, you should avoid using fertilizers or pesticides that may be toxic to cats.

Following these care tips will help your Triticum Aestivum thrive and stay healthy. With proper care, this plant can be a fun and beneficial addition to your indoor garden for both you and your cat.
