It is a peat moss alternative and is much better for the environment because it does not lead to the destruction of peat bogs. How to Grow Wheatgrass Place 1/3 of the coco coir in a pan or bucket and add water. If you aren’t able to get the brick divided into 1/3’s, that is okay, but it’s important to understand that the coir is going to expand up to 8 times its size. Take 2 tablespoons of the organic fertilizer and mix into the coir. You can also spread the fertilizer along the bottom of the tray before adding the coir in. Use your hand to make sure the 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 coir. We recommend using half the bag of seed. You can customize the amount of wheat seed based on your preferences. Add a very thin layer of 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 wheatgrass should be ready for harvesting. Cut near the base of the seeds using scissors. You can also transplant some of the wheatgrass into another container if you want to provide your cat with access to fresh cat grass!

Although cats are carnivores, eating grass is normal feline behavior. However, some common houseplants such as oleander, aloe, azalea and lily can poison cats. Provide cats with grasses that will help their digestion to satisfy their need for fiber. Pet stores often carry grass that has been specially manufactured for cat consumption.
Benefits of Eating Grass Cats are carnivores, but they sometimes eat green plants. Doctors Foster and Smith suggests that cats used to get their fiber from the digestive tract contents of their grass-eating prey in the wild. Plants provide cats with dietary fiber to smooth bowel movements and help with weight control. Fiber also helps cats vomit and get rid of accumulated fur balls. Besides making the cat's environment more attractive, providing grass also helps cats become healthier. Although cats are carnivores, eating grass is normal feline behavior.

Healthy Grasses Wheat grass contains chlorophyll, carotene, antioxidant vitamins and minerals to help cats develop healthy blood and muscle tissue. Other animals such as dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs and reptiles also often eat wheat grass as a healthy dietary addition. Other grasses that are healthy for cats include rye, oat and barley. Catnip, catmint, cat thyme and valerian are not grasses, but they are safe plants for cats to eat. Besides growing plants, you can also add lettuce or parsley to your cat's food bowl to help meet its fiber needs.
Commercial Products Pet stores often sell a product called cat grass. It contains grass seeds that are healthier than turfgrass for cats. The mix usually contains common oats, although it also sometimes contains wheat and rye grass. Cat grass grows well indoors any time of the year. Prepare a container that measures 6 to 8 inches in diameter and fill it with fresh potting soil. Sprinkle the seeds over the surface of the potting soil and cover lightly with soil. Add water and provide bright light. When the leaf blades reach a height of 2 inches, place it where the cat will find it.
