How long does catnip stay good for?
Nepetalactone (the active ingredient in catnip) is UV sensitive. This means your windowsill is not the best place to keep your jar of Chronic. Also, do not not keep your catnip anywhere that is very hot – it is best kept somewhere cool – like a cabinet. With that being said, as long as you do not store your catnip in direct sunlight, or keep it in your oven – it will pretty much stay good forever. Their have even been reports of catnip that is 50 years old having an affect on felines!
