Guide To Growing Spelt Wheat Grass For Cats In Less Than 10 Days

Far from a passing fad, growing grass for cats offers a range of potential health benefits. When felines chew on and ingest wheatgrass, they can reap the rewards of its many nutritional advantages.

Health Benefits of Spelt Wheat Grass

Spelt Wheat Grass is rich in soluble fiber, aiding digestion and reducing hairballs.

Additionally, it assists cats suffering from constipation and helps maintain fresh breath.

Wheat grass also aids in the expulsion of parasites from the cat’s stomach. When the cat regurgitates the grass, it helps to trap and remove parasites.

Furthermore, homegrown cat grass is an excellent mental stimulator and boredom breaker for cats.

How to grow Wheat Grass in less than 10 days

To make life easy for humans and cats, Kat Kult has designed a Kat Grass Grow Kit to help you plant and grow the perfect Spelt Wheat Grass for your cats to feast on.

Step 1:
Day 1 – Soak 1/4 cup of grain in cool water for 6-12 hours.

Step 2:
Day 2 – Drain off soak water and do not ever soak again.

Step 3:
Day 2 / 3 – Use a tea strainer to thoroughly *rinse and *drain the seeds with cool water every 8-12 hours until your seeds show the tiniest root.

Step 4:
Day 3 / 4 – Add the soil to the container and water the soil thoroughly.

Step 5:
Use a mini-garden rake to loosen the moistened potting soil. Tender roots of young grass plants will not grow well in compacted soils.

Step 6:
Cover your grass crop with another tray or plate, to keep light out and moisture in.

Step 7:
Day 5 / 6 / 7 – Keep the soil moist by watering lightly as needed. Don’t drench!

Step 8:
Day 8 / 9 / 10 – When the cat grass is 1-2 inches tall, remove the cover and move your crop to a well-lit location.

Step 9:
Harvest when your Grass is 10 – 15 cm tall by cutting just above the soil with scissors. If your cat likes the grass crop you grew for them out of love, then this step will not be necessary.

Bonus tips and tricks for a successful cat grass crop:

*Rinse: Water is the key ingredient in sprouts. Use it liberally.

*Drain: Sprouts must be drained thoroughly after rinsing. Sitting in a puddle is the most common cause of crop failure.
