Cat Grass Common Disease Problems

Damping Off: This is one of the most common problems when starting plants from seed. The seedling emerges and appears healthy; then it suddenly wilts and dies for no obvious reason. Damping off is caused by a fungus that is active when there is abundant moisture and soils and air temperatures are above 68 degrees F. Typically, this indicates that the soil is too wet or contains high amounts of nitrogen fertilizer. Burpee Recommends: Keep seedlings moist but do not overwater; avoid over-fertilizing your seedlings; thin out seedlings to avoid overcrowding; make sure the plants are getting good air circulation; if you plant in containers, thoroughly wash them in soapy water & rinse in a ten per cent bleach solution after use.

Nematodes: Microscopic worm-like pests that cause swellings (galls) to form on roots. Plants may wilt or appear stunted. Burpee Recommends: Do not plant into infested soil. Try planting ‘Nema-Gone’ marigolds around your plants in the garden. Grow in containers.

Powdery Mildew: This fungus disease occurs on the top of the leaves in humid weather conditions. The leaves appear to have a whitish or greyish surface and may curl. Burpee Recommends: Avoid powdery mildew by providing good air circulation for the plants by good spacing and pruning. Contact your Cooperative Extension Service for fungicide recommendations.

Rust: A number of fungus diseases that cause rust colored spots on foliage. Burpee Recommends: Remove infected plants. Contact your Cooperative Extension Service for recommendations.

Smut: This fungus causes streaks on leaves that mature into black powdery spores. The fungus stunts the growth of the plants. The disease lives in the soil for several years. Burpee Recommends: Rotate crops and do not plant in the same area for at least three years. Encourage rapid growth with watering and fertilizer to get plants past the susceptible stage. Some fungicides are effective, Check with your Cooperative Extension Service for recommendations.

Cat Grass Common Pest Problems

Aphids: Greenish, red, black or peach colored sucking insects can spread disease as they feed on the undersides of leaves. They leave a sticky residue on foliage that attracts ants. Burpee Recommends: Introduce or attract natural predators into your garden such as lady beetles and wasps who feed on aphids. You can also wash them off with a strong spray, or use an insecticidal soap.

Armyworm: Holes in leaves can be singular or clumped together. Leaves can become skeletonized. Egg clusters may be evident on foliage with a cottony or fuzzy appearance. Young larvae are pale green and adults are darker with a light line along the sideand pink underside. Burpee Recommends: Introduce natural enemies to the area.

Slugs: These pests leave large holes in the foliage or eat leaves entirely. They leave a slime trail, feed at night and are mostly a problem in damp weather. Burpee Recommends: Hand pick, at night if possible. You can try attracting the slugs to traps either using cornmeal or beer. For a beer trap, dig a hole in the ground and place a large cup or bowl into the hole; use something that has steep sides so that the slugs can’t crawl back out when they’re finished. Fill the bowl about ¾ of the way full with beer, and let it sit overnight. In the morning, the bowl should be full of drowned slugs that can be dumped out for the birds to eat. For a cornmeal trap, put a tablespoon or two of cornmeal in a jar and put it on its side near the plants. Slugs are attracted to the scent but they cannot digest it and it will kill them. You can also try placing a barrier around your plants of diatomaceous earth or even coffee grounds. They cannot crawl over these.

Whitefly: These are small white flying insects that often rise up in a cloud when plants are disturbed or brushed against. Burpee Recommends: They are difficult to control without chemicals. Try hot pepper wax or insecticidal soap. Check with your Cooperative Extension Service for pesticide recommendations.

Wireworms: These insects live in the soil and kill seedlings by girdling their stems at the soil line, bore into stems, roots and tubers. They may be found around the stems in the soil are and ¼ to ¾ inch long, thin, yellow brown worms with a shiny skin. The adults are called click beetles, and are about 1/3 inch long, reddish brown with a hard shell. Burpee Recommends: Rotate crops. Check with your Cooperative Extension Service for pesticide recommendations which must be applied prior to planting.



Do you have a cat that likes to nibble on your houseplants? Does your cat rub their face all over them? There is a solution for cat owners to help take some of the heat off their plants. That solution is cat grass!

Despite being carnivores, cats have long interacted with plants. Mostly, as mentioned above, in the form of rubbing their faces all over them, but in the case of certain grasses, they actually consume them.

What is the reason for consuming this grass? Veterinarians have a number of theories as to why they do this, but it is widely accepted that it’s done to aid with passing through indigestible items, such as fur.

Grass will often make a cat regurgitate, and in some cases, defecate, which allows whatever items they’re having trouble digesting to leave their systems, things like hairballs or parasites.

It has also been theorized that eating grass offers cats similar relief that we’d experience when taking an antacid – a stomach-settling effect.

What is Cat Grass?

Cat grass, put simply, is most often just wheatgrass. Some are also grown from rye, barley, or oats. Unlike catnip, which is a member of the mint family, catnip is less about a chemical attraction and more about giving your cat access to something they can use to help regulate digestion. Something that would naturally occur in an outdoor environment.

Cat grass is also safer than outdoor grass as you know it hasn’t been treated with harmful chemicals and other animals haven’t slobbered on it or used it as their washroom.

The best part about growing cat grass in your home is your cat will stop spending so much time rubbing their faces on your pre-existing houseplants. If you move your plants once the grass is being used, you can redirect their interest in nature back to the grass.

Benefits of Cat Grass

Cat grass also contains some real nutritional benefits for kitties. It has iron, calcium and proteins, vitamins A, C, E, K and B, 17 amino acids, and enzymes that aid in digestion. It really is a great little plant!

How to Grow Cat Grass

Cat grass kits can be found online at a number of different places. We suggest purchasing a cat grass kit, so you have instructions to follow at first, but here are some basic tips, from PetMD, for getting your cat grass going:

Before sprouting, seeds should be kept damp but never soaked. Once sprouts appear, use less water.

Allow three to seven days for seeds to sprout.

The grass will be ready for your cat to eat in 10 to 14 days after sprouting, or once it has reached a height of four inches and will last one to three weeks.

Continue to keep it in natural light and water daily with a spray bottle.

Do not overwater, as this causes mould.

Allow your cat to eat directly from the container.

When the grass starts to wilt or turn colour, plant a new container.

Final Thoughts

So, take the first step to keep your houseplants as happy as the kitty dragging its face across them. Invest in a cat grass kit and start growing your own grass at home just for your cat. They will be happy to chew, rub, and sniff the wheatgrass while hopefully leaving the other plants alone. The benefits speak for themselves, both mentally and physically for your feline.
