Wheat grass (sometimes called cat grass) is the early form of wheat, and it has been eaten by animals and people for a long time. The plant contains a number of nutrients, including calcium, iron, Vitamins A, E, C, K, and B6. Whether you want to grow wheat grass for the purported health benefits for yourself, or you want to provide your cats with access to a safe plant, our wheat grass/cat grass seeds makes it easy to grow this wonderful supergreen right in your home!
Place 1/3 of the peat moss or coco coir in a pan or bucket and add water.
Take 2 tablespoons of the organic fertilizer and mix into the moos/coir. You can also spread the fertilizer along the bottom of the tray before adding the moss or coir.
Use your hand to make sure the moss / coir is completely moist and spread across the bottom of the tray.
When it comes to the wheat seed it is not necessary to soak the seed but if you do it will speed up germination by up to a day.
Take the seed and spread it out evenly on top of the moss / coir.
Add a very thin layer of moss / coir over the top of the wheat seed.
Place the other tray over the top to create a humidity dome.
Use the spray bottle to keep the coir moist but not to the point where there is standing water.
You will need to water every other day.
Once the seeds have sprouted, take the 2nd tray off in order to provide sunlight for the sprouts.
By day 10 your wheat grass should be ready for harvesting. Cut near the base of the seeds using scissors.
You can also transplant some of the wheat grass into another container if you want to provide your cat with access to fresh cat grass.
