When clipped regularly, the leaves will keep growing. Either snip leaves off with a scissors or gently pull it off from the base of the leaf stem.

Catnip needs sunlight and water regularly to stay healthy.

• Warm months: give it a little water every other day - 3-5 TB is usually good, but adjust more or less as needed

• If your Catnip is wilted: just give it some water! It should perk up within a few hours

• Cooler/cold months: you may be able to go a couple days in between watering

Add extra soil as needed - after continued watering, the soil may pack down. For best results, keep the soil at least 75% full in the planter.

If the catnip leaves are turning pink/purple or curling under, your catnip needs some extra nutrients. (The soil gets depleted with watering).

• We recommend organic Vegetable and Herb Food - it’s a natural fertilizer that contains nitrogen and potash. Dr Earth is our preferred brand of herb food - it also contains a plant probiotic.

• Sprinkle 1/8-1/4 tsp of plant food on top of the soil in the planter and water the plant as normal. It will start producing green leaves again.

If your plant is getting “overgrown” and the stems are super tall, it’s time to prune the ‘Nip! Using a small scissors, cut the stem(s) to about 1” from the soil level. It should start producing new leaves.

If your cat loves it too much and it looks like the plant is destroyed, DON’T throw it out! Keep watering it normally - many plants start growing and producing new leaves and make a complete recovery! Just keep it out of reach from kitty during the recovery time.
