How to plant & care for Celosia
Celosia requires regular watering, about once or twice a week, but avoid overwatering. They can tolerate dry soil more than they can soggy soil.
Celosia’s unique blooms really come to life when placed in a very sunny spot. They will do best if they get 8 hours of sun each day!
Pruning is not necessary.
Take a cutting from your existing Celosia plant and place the bottom part of the stem in water. Once roots begin to establish, place the cutting into soil that is mixed with compost.
Fertilize once a month.
