# Hello! I was looking to plant some cat grass for my two felons to…

_Posted by ShanimalsPlantimals on 2025-06-24_

Hello! I was looking to plant some cat grass for my two felons to stop them from eating my spider plant, any recommendations for soil? My concerns are fertilizer and roundworms that are commonly found in soil, does anyone have any experience with this? My vet said my concerns were valid but didn’t know much about plants/soils. Thank you!!

I grow oat grass for my cat. She loves it. I don't currently have any growing for her. I grow the grass inside and it dies before going to seed. When I had an apartment with a balcony the oats would go to seed and I would grow them later. My cat, Vera will threaten to eat my spider plants while looking at me when she is hungry for greens. I use any type of growing medium or soil available

Im about to try growing some cat grass in coco coir instead of soil. I have a few plants in coco coir and they're doing well so I'm hoping it works!

I've grown it in hemp grow pads before. My cat and I prefer it to be grown in soil.
