Mix compost or aged manure into the soil before planting to provide the plant with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Plant seeds or seedlings: Celosia plants can be grown from seeds or seedlings. If planting seeds, sow them directly in the garden after the last frost date. If planting seedlings, wait until after the last frost date to plant them. Water regularly: Celosia plants need regular watering, especially during hot, dry weather. Water deeply once a week, or more often if the soil is dry. Fertilize: Celosia plants benefit from regular fertilization. Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Pinch back: Pinch back the tips of the celosia plants when they are about 6 inches tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Deadhead: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage the plant to produce more flowers. Protect from pests: Celosia plants are susceptible to aphids, spider mites, and other pests. Check the plants regularly for signs of infestation and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. Harvest: Cut celosia flowers for use in fresh or dried flower arrangements. Snip the stems just above a leaf node, and place the stems in water immediately. By following these tips, you can enjoy a beautiful display of celosia flowers in your garden.
