Celosia is easy to grow, especially from seed, and thrives with minimal fuss.
Sunlight: Celosia requires at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day to produce a good show of blooms.
Soil: Plant in well-draining soil with high organic matter. For heavy clay soil, add sand or compost to improve drainage.
Water: Water regularly, especially in hot weather, to keep the soil moist. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Celosia can tolerate some drought but does not like waterlogged soil.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced fertilizer monthly during the summer to encourage more blooms.
Propagation: You can grow Celosia from seed by sowing it directly into the garden or starting it indoors for later transplanting.
Deadheading: Removing spent blooms will encourage the plant to produce more flowers.
Edibility and toxicity
Edible: The leaves and young flower spikes of Celosia are edible and are used in cooking in many parts of the world, especially Africa and East Asia. They have a spinach-like flavor and are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Non-toxic: Celosia is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a safe plant for households with pets and children.
