I have had 2 Matatabi plants for 2 years. Before that I had been looking for them for years, ordering seeds that never arrived or grew until I found the 2 finally. They arrived at my house in the autumn of 2021 without leaves, looking puny and were not exactly cheap. I didn't think at the time that they would develop into 2 beautiful bushes. Some of you have seen them on Instagram in the Story many times last year. This year they have grown even more beautifully after I cut them so radically last autumn (and was afraid they wouldn't survive).

Many cat people know about matatabisticks, but did you know that the leaves are also "intoxicating" for cats? My 2 kitty's Oskar & Anton love to eat them fresh and also dried. You can order dried matatabi leaves for your four-legged friends in my shop and use them both for feeding and for toys.

For toys, just put the leaves in an airtight tin with the toys for a few days and the toys will take on the smell. You can always repeat this when the scent wears off or you have washed the toy.

My matatabi bushes are not sprayed or otherwise treated with chemicals. They get organic clover as fertiliser from Kleepura from time to time. This is pure organic clover pressed into pellets.

The fruits of the matatabi bush are also very healthy for humans. Unfortunately, I haven't had any fruits yet :(

Of course, I only have a limited supply of dried leaves. When they are sold out, there are only some again from autumn. Always keep them in airtight packaging so they don't lose their fragrance and aroma.

You get a handful of dried leaves, about the same as in the pictures with the dried leaves.

I wish you and especially your sweet four-legged friend lots of fun with the leaves.
