Caring Tips

Watering

Water your celosia plants when the top layer of the soil feels dry. Never soak the soil as celosias are prone to root rot, which will quickly kill the plant. Water once or twice weekly in the summer, and once a week in the winter. Seedlings need more water than mature plants.

Light

Give them plenty of sunlight and a warm location, and they'll thank you with prolific blooms. But careful attention to their soil and watering requirements is potentially even more important than that sunlight. Celosia will not tolerate wet feet.
