The Difference Between Catnip and Cat Mint

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) and Cat Mint (Nepeta nervosa) are often confused for each other--and for good reason. They both belong to the mint family (Nepeta) and have similar flowering habits, producing spike-like flowers. Nepeta nervosa and other similar cat mint varietals (Nepeta mussinii and Nepeta x faassenii, for example) are dwarf showy perennials that don't have an effect on cats. Generally, "Cat Mint" in the UK does refer to catnip (Nepeta cataria) while in the US, it only refers to the ornamental Nepeta varieties.


Catnip Seed Preparation, Sowing, and Germination

Catnip seeds must be stratified before being sown. Stratification is the process by which you slightly damage the seed coat to aid in germination. Seed failing to germinate can be a result of not stratifying your catnip seeds. A popular technique is to freeze the seeds and thaw them several times over the course of a few months. Another method is to freeze them for a week or more and then place them in a bowl of water overnight. This process should cause the seed hull to be damaged just enough for successful germination, which should take 2 to 3 weeks in ideal conditions.

If starting catnip seeds indoors, sow 1 to 2 months before the last frost date in plug trays. Keep soil moist but not soggy. When seedlings appear, place them near a window to receive light until the final frost is past. Harden off your seedlings before transplanting.

If you are sowing outdoors, wait til all threat of frost has passed and sow them a half-inch below the soil. Remove any debris from ground before planting.

Keep in mind that catnip is a very aggressive grower once its roots take hold. Consider planting in a container to prevent the possibility of catnip becoming invasive.

Growing and Maintaining Catnip

After the seedling phase, catnip adorns these lovely serrated leaves that resemble mint very much. Water regularly, but not too much. Catnip roots don't like to be in standing water, so water enough to moisten soil and then allow it to dry near to completion before watering again. Of course, in the high heat of summer, water will evaporate much quicker, so, watering frequency will naturally increase.

Pinching - Pinching catnip benefits the plant and your garden as a whole. As catnip grows, it becomes more aggressive, branching out and spreading; for a bushier plant, pinch the tops. This also helps to prevent catnip from bolting, which if allowed to go to seed, may cause future problems for your garden, as it can be hard to get rid of after that.

Possible Diseases Common to Catnip


  • Blight - yellow flecks that grow and trun brown.
  • Bacterial Leaf Spot - yellow spots grow and trun black, withering the whole herb.
  • Root Rot - brown slimy roots that stink; plant wilts and dies.
  • Septoria Leaf Spot - gray spots with fungal spores at the centers; caused by poor circulation due to overcrowding.

Disease Prevention: before planting, clear away any debris and/or weeds. Do not turn soil when it is wet, and avoid overwintering and splashing water onto the growing herb itself.

Possible Pests Common to Catnip

Catnip has a low potential for attracting pests, but with poor soils, pests can become an issue. These pests can include . . .

  • spider mites
  • thrips
  • white flies
  • flea beetles

Pest Prevention: prevent these by fertilizing your soil correctly. Make sure that your soil is clean from debris and weeds. If you are planting in a container with fresh potting soil, these pests shouldn't become an issue.

Catnip Herb as a Companion Plant

Catnip is known to ward off several pests including . . .

  • Aphids
  • Ants
  • Cabbage Loopers
  • Colorado Potato Beetles
  • Japanese Beetles
  • Flea Beetles
  • Cockroaches
  • Weevils
  • Squash Bugs

The ability to ward off said insects, catnip makes a fantastic companion plant for collards greens (and other similar brassica varieties), beets, pumpkins, and summer squashes. When flowering, catnip is a terrific pollinator attractor!

Harvesting Catnip Leaves

Harvest catnip leaves as you need them. Just pinch the serrated leaves form the branches and gather them in a baggy. Use fresh or dry them for future use.

Drying Catnip for Future Use

You may also opt for drying out the whole plant or branches. If so, cut at the base of the branch or stem and hang upside down in a temperate and well-ventilated area.

Cat Uses

Catnip doesn't affect all cats; whether it does or doesn't depends on genetics traits of the cat. Nepetalactone is the compound in catnip that elicits a reaction and some cats just haven't developed receptors to have what is called a nepetalactone reaction, which stimulates the cat to become hyperactive or the opposite. Cats will sniff, roll around, paw, and sometimes even eat the catnip itself. This effect only lasts several minutes to a half hour. At times, cats have been known to react poorly to catnip, exhibiting vomiting and diarrhea.

Human Uses

People use catnip too; however, it is less common. A tea made from catnip has been purported to relieve coughs. The oil from catnip has also been used to ward off mosquitos when applied to skin.

Repurchasing for sure
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These toner pads have genuinely made my skin look smoother, brighter, and more refreshed. They’re super easy to use and feel really gentle while still giving noticeable results. My skin feels cleaner and softer after using them, and I’ve especially noticed improvement in texture and overall glow. I also love that the pads are really saturated without dripping everywhere, and they don’t irritate my skin. They’ve become such an easy part of my routine, especially on days when I want my skin to look extra fresh and glowy. Definitely one of the better skincare purchases I’ve made lately.

medicube Dual-Textured Facial Pads for Exfoliation and Pore Care
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
If you’ve spent any time on skincare social media, you’ve likely seen these white tubs with bright blue lids. The Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is a cult-favorite K-Beauty staple designed for those who struggle with "strawberry nose," excess sebum, and texture. It isn't just a toner; it’s a mechanical and chemical exfoliant hybrid. The Dual-Action Design The "2.0" version features a pre-soaked, double-sided pad that serves two distinct purposes: 1. Embossed Side: Provides gentle physical exfoliation to lift away dead skin cells and debris. 2. Silky Side: Polishes the skin and hydrates, prepping the face for the rest of your routine. The Pros: Why It’s a Bestseller • Noticeable Texture Improvement: Within a week of consistent use, most users notice a significant reduction in "bumps" and a smoother surface for makeup application. • Effective Sebum Control: It contains a "Pore Tightening Complex" (including lemongrass and mint peel) that helps keep midday oiliness at bay without stripping the skin bone-dry. • Clean and Convenient: The tub comes with a secondary lid and tweezers, keeping the pads saturated and hygienic. • The "Glow" Factor: Because it uses AHAs and BHAs (Salicylic Acid and Betaine Salicylate), it clears out the "gunk" inside pores, making them appear smaller and the skin look brighter. The Cons: What to Watch For • Fragrance: These pads have a distinct, slightly medicinal/citrus scent. While refreshing to some, it may be irritating if you have a high sensitivity to added fragrance. • Tingling Sensation: If your skin barrier is compromised or you are very sensitive, you might feel a slight sting. It’s a potent exfoliant, not a soothing toner. • Price Point: Compared to basic drugstore toners, Medicube sits at a premium. You are paying for the convenience of the pre-soaked formulation and the specific patented ingredients.

Great product, great price!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These toner pads have been amazing for my skin! They leave my face feeling incredibly smooth, refreshed, and clean, and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in texture and overall glow. I especially love using them while removing my makeup because they make my skin feel extra fresh and clean afterward. I do notice they leave a slight semi-dry/tight feeling on my skin at first, but once I rinse and apply moisturizer, my skin feels absolutely amazing — soft, balanced, and hydrated. The pads are well soaked, easy to use, and make my skincare routine feel so much more effective. I’ll definitely continue using them! I also feel they work just as great and are not as over priced as so many others out there.

They really do work!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I rarely give reviews that aren’t motivated by disappointment, but this is one of them. Medicube makes several products that I use alongside $170 serums and creams, and the Zero Pore Pad is one of them. I love the dual texture, and even after using a pre-cleanser and a “microfolient” face wash (both expensive washes from by Dermologica), the Zero Pore Pad is my ONLY choice for a toner. Compared to the products that go on after using the pads, the pads are incredibly affordable for the results I’ve seen. On the rougher side of the pad, this toner still somehow finds pockets of sebum that are visible on the pad after using as directed. It’s like magic. I’m on my third container of Zero Pore Pads and I can say, without a doubt, they have had noticeable results on my skin, mostly on my nose and the cheek area around my nose. The size of my pores are now smaller, almost invisible. This is despite the fact that I layer a bunch of serums, creams and a moisturizer at night that I lock in with the peel-off Medicube collagen mask. Despite the weight of it all on my pores, the pads still have worked, and they aren’t harsh like some toners-but if you have very sensitive skin or are on acne medication, go with their milder sister product). I wash my face three times a day due to the ick of polluted air and layers of moisturizer and sunscreen, so I’ve been using these three times a day, but occasionally I use the Koji and Tumeric Pads, which have had no noticeable effect aside from serving as a basic toner. The application is lovely on all Medicube’s pads with their dual texture, but like the collagen mask these Zero Pore Pads really do work (for me). Because skin varies with age and melanin content, I am a pale white woman (female at birth) of Scandinavian descent so I don’t know if these would have had the same impact on me at age 17, but now they work, really well. I literally have the glass skin K-beauty prizes—I just used the pads and thought I had something on my face because my skin was shining. I love these, try them!

Good toner pad option
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I like these to use no more than 1-2x a week for my skin. I use them before bed and wake up noticing smoother and more event toned skin. If you use them too often, they can cause redness and irritation, but I have never gotten a rash or a breakout because of them. I will say, they do not exfoliate all your texture away and refine your pores to perfection like the marketing says, but nothing does. The AHA and BHA are the chemical exfoliants and work just like they do in any other product. The pads are very moist and stay saturated in the container as long as you keep the lid shut. Overall, a good toner pad option to be used occasionally in your routine and do not mix with any other actives.
