growing catnip indoors
 

Has anyone ever had any success in growing catnip indoors? I would prefer to
put it outside, but my 4 kitties (and the neighborhood strays) would surely
crush the plant. Any advice is greatly appreciatiated. Thanks.

We buy a 2" pot at the garden center every year, repot it in a 12" pot and
place it on our front porch in a bird cage about 2 1/2 feet tall. The
neighborhood cats can't eat it and it grows like crazy. The one plant will
supply our two cats with fresh nip all summer- and it dries into tasty
winter treat as well.

You probably don't have enough light inside for it. Try growing it from
seed outdoors -- they'll leave it alone till it's bruised.

There's an old saying, "If you sow it, the cats won't know it; if you
set* it, the cats will get it." Seems to hold true.

The opposite proved true for me. I could not grow catnip from seed, as soon as
it had a few leaves, the cats would eat it. Instead I bought a big plant in
the fall and I guess they didn't notice it till the next spring and by then it
was plenty big enough for them to enjoy it but too big for them to destroy.

A girlfriend of mine lives in a condo (bottom floor) and was having trouble
w/the cats in her complex destroying her catnip last year. This year she
simply put the 'nip in a hanging potted plant that she has dangling from the
balcony above her patio and so far, so good.
