Every winter it’s the same. Plant the wheat/oats/ barley or whatever, express amazement at how fast it grows, then plant some all over a week or two later because it dies so fast.

I would settle for slower growth and longer life. Is there some secret to keeping this longer? I only have a west facing window to put it in. The east facing windows are shaded by a big tree.

    Late reply but. Grass doesn’t live forever.

    Also it really likes sunlight. It doesn’t grow well in shade. If you ever notice outside it doesn’t grow well in shaded areas.

    Also needs watered.

    I cover mine with plastic wrap to help keep it hydrated.

    But again. It doesn’t live forever. So don’t expect to keep it alive forever like a house plant .

    Also cat grass is wheat grass.

    Hella cheap to buy wheat grass seed and it turns into grass in about a week.

    I grow my own.
