Method for plan catnip by soilless hydroponics

The planting method of soilless hydroponics is to find a shallow container, lay a soft wet tissue on the bottom, lay the wheat grain flat and wait for germination.

Before hydroponic maintenance, seeds with full seeds, good color and no diseases should be selected, and then soaked in clear water for eight to ten hours to promote the seeds to absorb enough water, which is beneficial to shortening the germination time of seeds and facilitating oral management in the later stage. Scatter the treated catnip seeds in a container of appropriate size, and pay attention to the disinfection of the container before use, so as not to affect the growth of plants, and then pour enough water, the depth of which is half of the height of the seeds.

During the maintenance of hydroponic catnip, water should be changed every two days before emergence to ensure the water quality is clear and clean. After plants emerge, they can change water every three to five days, and drop one or two drops of nutrient solution when changing water to promote the growth of catgrass.

Effects of Catgrass on Cats

1, catgrass helps to enhance the digestive function of cats.

The plant fiber contained in cat grass can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and help cats digest food, especially meat. Cats that eat catnip will see tiny catnip fragments in their excrement. If there is something wrong with the cat's stomach, the cat grass fragments will be obvious chunks. Because catgrass can only help cats digest ordinary food, catgrass itself cannot be digested and absorbed efficiently by cats.

2. Catgrass helps to spit hair balls.

Cats clean their hair by licking. In this process, some of the fallen hair will be swallowed by cats and eventually form a ball in their stomach. If cats can't spit out hair balls by themselves, long-term accumulation may block the stomach and cause some problems such as defecation and eating. The fiber in catgrass can help cats excrete undigested hairballs and help digestion.

3. Catgrass can supplement a small amount of nutrition

Catgrass contains vitamins, minerals, Julia and so on. It helps cats maintain a balanced nutrition, but the nutrition that cats can get from catgrass is very limited.
