My cat Johnny needs to eat plants. In the summer, I can pick clover, dandelion leaves etc. for him. Winter is a problem - no plants to pick. Fresh herbs bought from the store are expensive. The problem is that I am allergic to mold - shouldn't have plants growing in soil. Does anybody have any ideas for plants that I could grow in water or some other medium?

Alfalfa and most lentils so long as they are not split ones. You need a jar half full of water some cloth to cover an elastic band to keep it there drain and replace water every day.
Nice in salads as well.
Beansprouts are done like this they are mung beans to start with.

Purina makes a cat food for animals that like the taste of plants. It's called Purina Cat Chow "indoor formula". Maybe that will satisfy your kitty's craving for plants. There's also another one called Purina's Naturals with vitamins and minerals. Maybe one of these foods will work for you.
Other than that...I know there is that little dish of greens you can grow but it contains soil.

particular, flowers can boost with out soil, yet they can not boost with out the needs that soil components. flowers pick help, food, risk-free practices from unfavourable temperatures, a good furnish of moisture, and that they pick oxygen around the roots. that's accessible to grant those needed factors for plant boost with out soil. some tropical flowers boost in a manner equivalent to aeroponic lifestyle. those flowers (orchids, ferns, bromeliads, some philodendrons and different flowers) boost related to the branches of wood severe above the soil. The tree components help. general rain showers grant the water. food are presented by ability of composted components that run down the trunk and branches of the tree for the time of the rain showers. for lots of the day, the roots draw close interior the air, which provides the needed oxygen. particular, flowers may be grown with out soil as long as we grant for the needs that are lacking while soil is lacking.

You could probably do leafy vegetables in a semi-hydroponic method. I've only used this for orchids and African violets (rooting the AV leaf directly in the ceramic media).

The advantage of this over conventional hydroponics is that it's much easier, and you have a small, self-contained pot that doesn't need fancy pumps and filters and stuff.

well first... it's not good that your cat is eating plants... but they do have air plants which just need water occasionally. but i'm sure it's not too healthy for him.
