Product description

Cyperus alternifolius Zumula, commonly known as Cat Grass, is a very simplistic indoor plant. Its bright green foliage will add a vibrancy to the room it is placed in, whilst not being invasive or distracting anyone. Its main asset is that it is 100% cat friendly, meaning your feline friends are safe to roam about this plant with no worry of toxicity harming them.

The plant is best placed in bright, indirect light. This makes most homes, offices, desks and window sills ideal. If conditions allow, you could also place this plant on the floor due to its cat-safe nature. Watering should be done once a week to ensure the soil remains relatively moist. If placed indoors, let the plant sit in a shallow tray for the water to disperse into.

Instructions

Top Tip

Encourage lush, upright growth by placing Cyperus in a well-lit area with high humidity. For indoor plants, mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels. Prune dead or yellowing stems close to the base to keep the plant tidy and to direct energy toward healthy new growth.

How to Water

Water Cyperus once a week - this will suffice to give it moist soil. During warmer months, ensure the plant receives more regular water, especially if grown in containers or gardens. For indoor plants, keep the pot standing in a shallow tray of water to simulate its natural wetland environment. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant and stunt its growth.

How to Plant

To plant Cyperus, choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with moist, well-draining soil. If planting in a container, use a pot with drainage holes and a soil mix rich in organic matter to retain moisture. Ensure the crown is just above the soil level, and water thoroughly after planting. For water gardens or ponds, place the Cyperus in a basket submerged in shallow water. Regularly monitor the soil to keep it consistently moist.
