As well as benefiting your four-legged companion\u2019s digestive health, it adds a green, natural touch to your space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Hordeum vulgare<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Cat grass, Cat grass, Barley<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Poaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Europe, Western Asia and North Africa<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Outdoor or indoor plant<br \/><strong>Approx. height<\/strong>: 20\u201325 cm<br \/><strong>Pot diameter<\/strong>: 12 cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers very bright spots with plenty of indirect\/filtered light or a few hours of gentle sun (direct sun only in the early morning is ideal).
