Hi Kristina & Oliver, it would probably benefit from being outdoors in the summer if you have a good spot for it, even in a pot. You'd have to keep it well watered, it can 'droop' or wilt in a pot in the summer from too much heat and not enough water, and you may well need, as it grows, to transplant to a larger container. If you have space to divide it and actually plant some in the ground, I strongly recommend it, then all you'll have to do is make sure you keep a portion from it potted inside during the winter when the outdoor plant dies back; its a wonderful perennial which will just keep getting bigger and bigger and that way you'll be able to keep your babies well supplied!









Gimme five!

Buying catnip is a complete waste of money, besides the stuff you find outside is better grade because the catnip is fresher and the plants are older, you can go to a park/neighbors yard and get some.


Most neighbors probably view the plant as a weed and if you ask you can get LOADS of it, besides being nonnative its very invasive


Catnip is also good for people, it helps with digestion/stress/relaxation issues, you can dry the leaves and use it for tea before bed.

we hide ours around the house, it keeps him busy, and the dogs just look at him , like he lost his mind.

Dogs think their human, Cats know they are .
