Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Catnip seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting.

Sowing:

Choose a location with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight.
Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches (15 centimeters) and removing any weeds or debris.
Scatter the catnip seeds evenly over the prepared soil surface. Press them lightly into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Optionally, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or compost, about 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) deep.
Water the area gently to settle the soil around the seeds.

Germination:

Catnip seeds typically germinate within 7 to 10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Ensure the seeds receive adequate sunlight or artificial grow lights.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into their permanent growing location.
Space the seedlings about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 centimeters) apart to allow for adequate airflow and growth.
Gently lift each seedling from the soil, taking care not to disturb the roots too much.
Dig a hole in the new planting location that is slightly larger than the root ball of the seedling.
Place the seedling in the hole and backfill with soil, pressing gently to secure the plant in place.
Water the transplanted seedlings thoroughly to help them establish in their new location.

Care and Maintenance:

Water catnip plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune the plants regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent them from becoming leggy.
Catnip can be harvested for use once the plants reach maturity, typically in late spring or early summer. Harvest the leaves and flowers as needed for use in teas, cat toys, or other applications.
Monitor the plants for pests such as aphids or spider mites, and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or other appropriate measures.

Happy gardening!
