    Cats like the dried blossoms better than just the leaves.
    Also, bees love the flowers too.

    Hi! Do you know if I should stratify the seeds before planting (I live in Toronto, Canada)? Also, do you get a lot of stray cats? I'm a broke student and my place doesn't allow pets, so I'm hoping to at least attract some stray cats bc they're so cute!

    • @itsbreellis

      I don't believe you have to, at least I never have. Thats awesome!! I attract a lot of the neighborhood strays this way. Always catch them laying in it!

    Maybe I’m nose blind but my catnip isn’t very potent, it’s just starting to bloom so maybe I need to give it more time.
    Roughly how long is the catnip good for after you dehydrated it?

    • @itsbreellis
      @itsbreellis  2 года назад

      That’s interesting! The moment I pick mine I can smell it, now that it’s flowering you may be able to smell it more, but typically no matter what stage it’s in mines pretty strong. I still have catnip from 2 years ago dried and it’s still great! Just gave my cat some the other day. I’m not 100% positive but since it’s dry you should be good for awhile

  • @ashten7281
    @ashten7281 4 года назад

    My catnip nowhere near as large de lis look like miniature leaves compared to yours I have mine and hanging baskets and apparently that's not good enough what am I doing wrong what fertilizer do you use what potting soil do you use?

    • @itsbreellis
      @itsbreellis  4 года назад

      They can take a year to get to full size. They love a lot of light! At least in my experience. I havnt used any fertilizer on it this year but it’s in a area we put all fresh compost down. To get plants started I just use a organic potting mix. Have you tried other areas since they are in hanging baskets??

      @itsbreellis  3 года назад +2

      You can always harvest small bundles, tie them at the end, and hang upside down to dry for a few weeks! Or they have herb hangers. (Which I got after making this video) and I love it! Super easy to stuff herbs in and let go.
