There's Also Cat Tail Grass, Growing a Pot at Home Makes You Feel Better
People who like to grow flowers are generally very loving of life. Such people are likely to love all kinds of small animals in life too~
Do you guys have cats at home? Cats are very cute small animals, their bodies are soft and agile, and their big round eyes are super cute. And cats have long and thick tails that sway impressively.
Many people like to raise cats, and they are obsessed with anything cat-like. There is one plant in particular that is related to cats – cat tail grass.
The name of this plant has a good reason – it has a clustered flower arrangement, with a huge number of blue-purple small flowers on the entire flower cluster.
One by one, the flowers look like cat tails, and they are very soft and cute. It's a little like a feather fan bean.
Many flower enthusiasts may not be familiar with it, but after seeing its beautiful shape, they are very moved and want to grow one at home.
Now is the best time to sow and nurture cat tail grass. If you plant it now, it will bloom in April or May because its flowering period is relatively early, so this is the last chance. If you don't seize it, you may not see it bloom this year.
When sowing, you need to pay attention to several key points. The first is the pre-sowing preparation. Because its seeds are very hard, with a hard shell, if we directly sow them into the soil, it is unlikely to germinate, even if we wait for a year and a half, there will be no movement.
Therefore, before sowing, we need to do some preparation, such as finding a brick and rubbing the seeds on it back and forth.
When you see some cracks on the shell, it's easier to germinate afterwards. There's also a step you can't forget – germination.
Other plants usually soak in warm water for one or two days before sowing, but cat tail grass is a very capricious plant, like cats, unpredictable and stubborn. It needs to soak in warm water for about two weeks before sowing.
If your home temperature doesn't reach 15 degrees Celsius or above, you need to warm it up artificially. You can find a transparent plastic bag and keep the humidity at a basic level, which is very beneficial for seed germination.
So, if you want to grow a plant yourself, it takes a lot of effort. When it finally blooms, your sense of accomplishment will be even greater.
Of course, if you don't have much time and think this method is too complicated, you can buy a small seedling and grow it at home.
However, this plant is not very popular. You may need to spend some effort to find it in the local flower market, and you can also buy it online.
