hello dream gardener, I looked at your profile to see where you were from...yall get that strange white stuff on the ground when it gets cold huh...Catnip is considered a hardy perennial, though to provide fresh leaves for your kitty year round it would be best to grow it in a pot, so it could be taken it for the winter. In the meantime...you want to get it as strong and healthy as you can to survive the rigors of indoors through the coldest periods, so...repot it for now in a larger container, give it as much outdoor sun as you can. Water only when lightly dry, liquid fertilize at 1/2 strength of whatever the package suggests,(catnip isn't a heavy feeder , but will need a little something when pot grown). An all purpose potting mix should work well, one without additional ammendments, that is...catnip just doesn't need it. Good luck

how talls that aquaruim?.my plants about 3 ft& about as wide but have trimmed back for now...hot season here now.my neighbors cat gets some sometimes whan i'm haveing a nice moment& carry them some over...probably why they go nuts at window when mow her yard....ya think?
