Catnip is coming in like crazy so now is the time to harvest it and dry it. In this video I show how I use the sun to dry the catnip that I harvest and how I process it for storage for my cats:)
Matt
You should harvest just after your plants flower and as they are about to go to seed. There will be way more oils and good stuff in your plant. Plus the flowers are the cats favorite part and most potent.
This was uploaded Jul, 15, 2014. im watching this in June 8 2020. And im happy i found this thanks. Now its time to dry my catnip.🐱🌿
FINALLY! I seriously just wasted almost 30 minutes watching 6 other videos before yours on how to harvest and dry catnip so I could learn how to dry it in a way that wouldn't require either a dark, warm, undisturbed room for a couple months, OR a dehydrator! I don't have a dehydrator, a space like that in my house, OR the patience of having to wait months for it all to dry! Your video was the only one I found that showed me how to use the sun (duh...why didn't I think of that?!?), AND you also showed us what it looked like AFTER it was dried out, as well as a couple of good tips on pruning. TWO THUMBS UP from me, so THANKS! 👍👍😊
Our cats love it so I am happy this helped you:)
My dad grow humanip and yeah at harvest he hangs it but eventually he cant wait and microwaves it with what I'd guess yields a 10-15% potency loss 20% at most extreme circumstances
the tea tastes like a very smooth mint, with no bite. :)
I may have to try that Jeffery Dodson:)
“I’m gonna show you how I....” gets distracted and starts batting like a cat at the catnip. Are you part cat? 🤣🤣
Great video though! I’m starting a mini garden at my apartment and one of the plants is catnip!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video
thank you for answering my question 🌈🌞🕊
No problem at all😊
Thank you! I needed to know how to dry it. God bless you!
Cool:) I am happy the video helped someone. God bless you as well!
Those junctions you speak of are officially called nodes and the stem length between them is the internode
Thank you for the clarification:)
@@homefarmideas lol yup. It seems to have alot in common with cannabis lol
I drink the tea with Honey after boiling several leaves. Great for the complexion. A lot of Appalachians use the tea for babies that have bumps on their face. Most of the time we just buy it.
Sparky, you can get the plant just about anywhere and it will do great in a green house:)
catnip makes a wonderful tea
I did not know that Jeffery Dodson:) Whats it taste like?
Kitties are so CUTE! Thank you so much! Very informative!
Yes, I love them:) My little garden buddies! Thanks you!
This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you.
Hey matt i was wondering where I can buy those catnip plants or seeds that u can grow. I also wanted to know when im growing it can i put it in a greenhouse. Thanks ,
George
Hey that way good info. I was researching catnip and that answered my questions thanks.
No problem at all my friend:) I am always happy to help!
Use it for making tea
Really???
@@blair5988 yes, its related to mint and has a calming effect.
Very helpful! Thanks!!!!
Thank you. I found your video helpful and informative. Where would you recommend getting the seeds ? I'm very interested in growning my own for my cats
I got a pack at home Depot. This guy didn't cut any of the flowers either. He didn't even let them grow. The flowers have the most oil.
Amazon basically.
@@jg77northeast36 I know you posted this 2 years ago but what do you mean by that? Would it be stronger if you let the flowers dry along side the catnip is that what you mean?
I grow catnip it does not look like that tan color, what happen.. it was dried in the sun 😩 the plant has already been cut ✂️ should be hung or flat dried in a dry airy dark place not in the sun it will destroy it medicinal properties. From what I read in several herbal 📚 books since the late 60'.
I'll have to wait till I can harvest but thanks, this is very helpful :D
Thank you! ✌🏻
How long does it take from planting it to harvesting it?
Like about a month
But the longer you wait the bigger it gets
Thanks for that mate,I will try that,fyi raw is more potent for the cats,mine get so high they dribble lol
Cooking to many 🧠 cells🤣
Thanks....drying my harvest now.
+Ted Price, that is awesome:) Happy to help always my friend!
Ich würde dir empfehlen, die Minze und andere Kräuter nicht in der Sonne zu trocknen, sondern im Schatten an einem luftigen Ort! Sonst gehen zu viele Nährstoffe, Vitamine und ätherische Öle kaputt. Duft und Geschmack leiden sehr!
Es wäre auch besser, die Kräuter nicht mit dem Gitter zu beschweren, damit sie beim Trocknen locker liegen können.
Vielleicht hast du einen alten Fensterrahmen oder ähnliches, auf den du einfach ein Tuch tackern oder nageln kannst, dann könnte die Luft auch von unten durch und die Kräuter sind in kürzester Zeit trocken (höchstens ein paar Stunden).
Liebe Grüße!
What does it smell like??
i only got a few leaves because i harvested a little to late
Was that a single plant or multiple? I am about to transfer some seedlings into containers and unsure if I should split them up into singles or just plant them together. What is your opinion?
Where can I get the plant? Home Depot?
that my main question which junction could do both ? thanks for answering question!:) no had been able to
+Jacey Neubauer, happy to help:)
I have to grow cat nip for my cats, I buy the seeds but I have no idea how to thrive them or what type of soil is best for them...
It’s best if you add some sand in the soil because catnip likes dryer, better draining soil. But just normal compost is fine as well. It worked for me, at least :)
Watching this Jan 2021
that black cat is gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍
+Mariah Carey's Diva Shade, thanks:) She's my garden buddy!

What about when flowers bloom on the tops?
You can use the flowers as well🙌🏼
@@homefarmideas Thank you!
I wish I lived in a farm, i spend to much time on the internet because the outdoors is always raining, it's always either to hot or to cold.. SOOO many bugs and no kids in my neighborhood ;c
You must live in Cincinnati like me. Either freezing cold, blazing hot , or pouring rain... NEVER comfortable lol
Awwwh kitty! I bet he loves you and your grows. Hahahhahahahahahahahabahahahah
Crushing it with your hands will transfer a lot of the active resin onto your hands
What is the name of the song? I dig it
+Maxwell House, "Thank you Lord" by Bob Marley:) It just fits what I am all about. I am thankful to the Lord for He has made me smile!
Im wondoring, If you could send me a few seeds? I cant find the seeds anywhere around me or online for a reasonable price, Ill send postage if you want
Sure, If I get some I will for sure:) It is going to have to be when I have the time Joey marino so you may need to send me the postage and when I have time I will put some seeds in the package but no guarantees. PM me:)
Thanks!!
What kind of that plant ?
Is this cat mint???
I love how everybody is playing reggae in these vids
Very interesting video, and will be very helpful for me in the near future! I'm growing my own catnip, I'm only sown the seeds two days ago. The weather hasn't been very good so far sadly, so I hope they pull through, survive and grow. I'm also growing cat grass, and they've started to grow. I grow both my catnip and cat grass indoors, and I'm growing the catnip because I'm want to try catnip tea, because I've heard catnip is a powerful repellant against mosquitos, and also because I love cats. Just one question I want to ask, but does artificial light count as sunlight for the catnip, I mean an ordinary light.. Because it hasn't been very sunny and I would be really happy for my first catnip seeds to grow successfully. Thanks for posting this video and I will follow the advice it offers. :)
+Majestic Mutt, thanks for watching and the support:) Well, if you use artificial light you will need lights that act like natural light.

Could you just put it in the microwa
+Chris, it will kill any natural benefit that comes from the plant and it will smell your microwave up.
+Home Farm Ideas ok thanks
Is that one plant??
Yes
Am I the only one listening to how many times he said basically 😂
JmagZxZ basically, yes.
hi does your 🐈 like the catnip 🪴 green or dehydrated??????? could I grow 🐈 catnip 🤔 in my home 🏡 in the 🪟 window thank you 😊 for this video 🎥 back to the 🎬 📺 🖥 video 🎥 tata4now 🌈🌞🤳 🪴I can't grow or dry it outside I live in government housing I'm 62👵 and bored from covid I have teracota pots thank you 😀 😊 😁😷 I wouldput some 🐈 nip in a sock
Catnip is generally more effective on cats when it is dried. The drying process helps concentrate the chemical compound called nepetalactone, which is responsible for triggering the characteristic response in cats. When catnip is dried, the concentration of nepetalactone increases, enhancing its potency. Fresh catnip can also elicit a response in some cats, but it tends to be less intense compared to dried catnip. However, it's important to note that each cat's sensitivity and preference can vary, so some cats may still enjoy fresh catnip more. Ultimately, observing your cat's reaction can help determine which form of catnip they prefer. So I would say try both😊 it will also grow fairly easy in pots. Just make sure that it is trimmed and does not get too tall. As it grows if you trim it, it will get bushy instead of lengthy.
Do you have to dry it?
Can’t you just give it to ur cat without drying it?
Yes you can give it to them either raw or dry.
Some cats prefer the catnip dry others prefer the cat nip fresh

Harvest??? There aren’t ANY flowers! You harvest the FLOWERS. You will never make it as a weed grower if you give you customers leaves.
Grows alot like cannabis lol
Those leaves look a little moldy
Gross, why do you dry them that much? You mine as well just buy some old dry catnip.
Ok so you cut the catnip and put it on a tray to dry and you put a plastic grate on top for some reason...... I learned nothing from this video.
