Sowing Cat Grass Seed Indoors To grow cat grass as a houseplant, sow indoors at any time. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed starting formula in the container where the plants will grow. Keep the soil moist at 70 degrees F Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours. Sowing Cat Grass Directly in the Garden Sow cat grass outdoors in spring after all danger of frost has passed in average soil in full sun. Remove weeds and work organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in rows 1 inch apart. Firm lightly and keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge 7-14 days. How to Grow Variegated Cat GrassKeep weeds under control during the cat grass growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. For best results, water just as soil surface dries. Re-sow often to maintain months of vibrant grass. Trim back to 1 inch every second week to promote fresh growth. Cat grass usually re-grows quickly several times after being nibbled.
