Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' (Cat Grass)

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' is a fresh green sedge cultivated as cat grass, with upright stems and fine, grassy bracts arranged in soft umbrella-shaped tufts. It gives cats a living chew plant when grown cleanly for that purpose, while still looking neat and bright in an indoor pot.

Cyperus alternifolius is a rhizomatous perennial from wet tropical habitats in tropical and southern Africa, Madagascar and the Arabian Peninsula. In a pot, this sedge needs steady moisture around the roots and quick attention when the clump begins to dry.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' cat-grass traits

  • Fresh green, grass-like growth cultivated for cat-grass use
  • Upright sedge stems topped with fine umbrella-like bracts
  • Moisture-loving root system suited to consistently damp substrate
  • Fast regrowth from the base when kept warm and evenly watered
  • Cultivated as cat grass when grown cleanly and kept pesticide-free

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' sedge habit and native range

Cyperus alternifolius belongs to the Cyperaceae family. The visible grass-like effect comes from slender stems topped with narrow bracts arranged in a whorl. The true leaves sit lower and are less visually dominant, while the upper bracts create the soft tufted look that cats often investigate.

Container-grown 'Zumula' behaves as a moisture-loving clump. It can be trimmed when tips become ragged from chewing, and new shoots emerge from the base when the crown remains healthy. Because the plant is grown for close contact with pets, remove old stems, stale water and plant debris promptly.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' moisture-led care

  • Light: Set in bright indirect light with gentle morning sun where available. Harsh midday sun can dry the slender tips quickly behind glass.
  • Watering: Maintain even substrate moisture. Water before the root ball dries through, especially in warm and bright conditions.
  • Water tray: A shallow water layer can help during warm periods. Refresh the water often so the pot stays clean.
  • Substrate: Keep the potting mix moisture-retentive but clean. Fine coco fibre, composted bark and some mineral material hold moisture while allowing oxygen.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–26 °C. Cooler indoor corners slow growth.
  • Humidity: Usual indoor humidity is acceptable when the root zone stays moist. Dry air may brown fine tips faster.
  • Feeding: Feed very lightly if the plant is used by pets. Use a mild fertiliser and allow fresh growth before offering the plant again.
  • Trimming: Cut back chewed, yellow or tired stems near the base. Regular trimming keeps the clump fresh and encourages new shoots.
  • Pet-use hygiene: Keep the pot free of mould, stale water and old plant debris. Replace heavily chewed plants when regrowth weakens.
  • Propagation: Larger clumps can be divided, keeping roots and growing points together. Division is easiest in active growth.
  • Mineral or water-based culture: Cyperus alternifolius can adapt to very moist mineral setups when warmth, light and clean water are maintained.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' hygiene and regrowth checks

  • Brown dry tips: The plant is drying between waterings or receiving hot sun. Increase watering frequency and move it away from intense glass exposure.
  • Yellow lower stems: Old stems naturally age, but widespread yellowing can point to stale water, low light or a tired root ball.
  • Mould on the substrate: Remove debris, refresh the top layer and improve airflow. Pet grass should be kept especially clean.
  • Flattened growth: Heavy chewing can weaken the clump. Trim damaged stems and allow a recovery period before offering it again.
  • Slow regrowth: Check warmth and light. Cool rooms and dim corners reduce new shoot production.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' can be kept as part of a two-pot routine when cats have access. One pot can recover in bright light while the other stays accessible, and both should be inspected often so tired or damaged growth can be trimmed.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' pet-use precautions

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' is cultivated as cat grass when grown cleanly and pesticide-free. Remove old, mouldy or heavily damaged growth. Large amounts of any chewed plant material can upset a pet’s stomach, so keep access supervised and replace tired pots.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' sedge name note

Cyperus alternifolius is an accepted species in the Cyperaceae family. Cyperus comes from an ancient Greek word used for sedges, while alternifolius means alternate-leaved. 'Zumula' is a compact cat-grass form in cultivation.

Cyperus alternifolius 'Zumula' forms a fresh living cat-grass pot with narrow green shoots and a moisture-loving habit.

Perfect! Read this for large size
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Large, Color: (New) Rinse
Man, let me tell you when I say I've never been so nervous about an amazon order before. I've wanted one of these for a long time but the reviews had me a little shook. I'm 6' tall and 210lbs. I'm definitely not fat but I do have a bit of a beer belly, the rest of me is pretty lean and muscular. I measured my chest at 44" while wearing a light hoodie. The size chart said I should be a large and so that's what I ordered. It fits perfectly, I can honestly say an XL would probably be too big. The large is not too tight, not too loose. I have plenty of room in my shoulders, and I can wear a flannel shirt and hoodie under it and button it closed comfortably. The arms are the perfect length for me as well, falling just past the wrist. I read a few reviews about the quality of the denim, I got the rinse color (dark wash) and it feels plenty high quality to me. No issues that I can see with the pockets, buttons, or stitching anywhere. I did however get a blank red tag on the front pocket which concerned me, I looked that up and apparently Levi manufacturers 10% of their products with blank red tags instead of saying "Levi" and supposedly that makes them more valuable because of the rarity? Whatever, I don't care about that as long as it's not a knockoff. I plan to wear this for a long time so the resell value is of little importance to me anyways. Even if it was a knockoff, I'd probably keep it anyways because of how good it looks. Overall I'm pretty happy with this purchase and would recommend.

“This Jacket Changed My Life, My Posture, and Possibly My Destiny.”
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: X-Large, Color: Colusa/Stretch
“This Jacket Changed My Life, My Posture, and Possibly My Destiny.” I bought this Levi’s Men’s Trucker Jacket on Black Friday for 50% off, and honestly, I think the universe has been waiting for this moment. The second I slipped it on, I felt the air shift — like somewhere, a tumbleweed rolled across a Walmart parking lot in respect. This jacket didn’t just fit. It claimed me. Suddenly, I walked differently. Not better — just with more narrative significance. Like I was the mysterious side character in a Netflix show who only appears to give life-changing advice next to a jukebox. People look at me now like I’ve been to places. Seen things. Done questionable but noble acts on the open road. What This Jacket Made Me Believe About Myself: That I could fix a motorcycle using only pliers and emotional willpower That I should own sunglasses even indoors That I absolutely should lean against things while staring into the distance That I have opinions about blues music That someone, somewhere, owes me money My confidence skyrocketed. My responsibilities? Stayed exactly the same — but I now ignore them with swagger. The Black Friday Factor Getting it 50% off activated a new primal ego inside me. Every time someone compliments it, I immediately shout: “THANKS — GOT IT HALF OFF!” Even when they weren’t complimenting it. Even when they weren’t talking to me. Even when I was alone. Durability This thing could survive: A bar fight A mild tornado Being run over by a shopping cart stampede The emotional collapse of a man who just realized he peaked in high school It’s rugged. It’s iconic. It smells faintly of “I could do better, but I won’t.” Side Effects (documented): Strangers nod at me Kids think I know how to play guitar I feel obligated to say things like “Let’s ride” even when entering a minivan My reflection winked at me once Final Verdict This isn’t just a jacket. It’s a lifestyle upgrade. A fabric-based personality transplant. A denim prophecy fulfilled. Five stars. If Levi’s ever discontinues this jacket, I will chain myself to their headquarters and demand justice.

Vintage 60's cool, but sizing is a difficult decision
I can't believe I haven't owned one of these for the last 40 years or so. To put one on after all these years takes one right back to the questionable days of one's youth when you wore these bare chested underneath while tooling around on your Kawasaki 500 triple. Well it will take you back if you haven't let yourself go too far! I received both a large and a medium in black (love the free returns on clothing, I always order two sizes so I get the right fit). They are both made in Mexico and look very neat and well made, the denim is on the thin side but OK for warm weather. Nowhere is there any tag saying shrink to fit or shrinks two sizes. The tag says machine wash cold, tumble dry medium. The large is quite large on me (I'm 5'9" 168 lbs trim and athletic build, more often than not I wear large in T shirts and jackets), the sleeves are way too long and loose, body too long and loose. Would have to shrink drastically to fit me, I really doubt it would shrink anywhere near that much. This type jacket is just all wrong if it's too loose fitting, witness the BLACK color one in the model photos, just not too cool. The medium fits much much smaller but IMHO perfect for this style jacket, a classic fit like Steve McQueen or Robert Plant would have sported, high waist and tight shoulders with sleeves rolled back a little. If you look at the model in the 'HARRINGTON' color you have the idea. It will be totally bitchen on today's big black BMW oilhead. This is the youthful fit I was looking for but any shrinkage would be too much. I am conflicted because I would like to wash this jacket and break it in, put a little wear and tear on it. But I wouldn't dare dry it with heat. I might try washing it in cold water and then line dry or I may just dry clean it. I am tempted to go out and drag it up and down the gravel driveway and run it over with my truck a few times till it acquires some of the same attitude it inspires in me. All I need now is a Psychedelic soundtrack and I'm all set to relive the glory days, better than the first time around. A little research on the Levi's website reveals they have a regular fit and a slim fit in addition to this relaxed fit which is the only one available on Amazon. I find that this relaxed version works well in the medium size anyway, it seems to be relaxed only in the body, not so much in shoulders or sleeves.

Fit True to Size

Good quality you'd expect from Levis. Fit on the very slightly snug size of true to size. Very nice jacket.

Large fits well, comfortable, though a bit more flex to it than expected
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Large, Color: Colusa/Stretch
Very nice, though it is stretchier than expected. I purchased a large. The fit is good for me at 5'11" / 200lb, average build. My shoulders are a bit broader than most and the fit is maybe just a weeeeee bit tight, under the arm when reaching for something. The arm length and overall length are both great. This will be a mid-season jacket so I do not plan to wear a hoody or other bulky item under it. It would work, but I think a bit too snug for me. I reccomend washing it immeidately then taking a hot iron with steam to the pockets and collar which I feared were trying to start and curl up. They need to be trained early! I am more pleased than expected.
