Growing Instructions from Seeds

Celosia plumosa seeds are very small.

Surface sow or cover only very lightly with fine growing medium.

Do not sow deeply.

Keep the growing medium:

Lightly and consistently moist until germination.

Once seedlings are established and large enough to handle, transplant carefully into their final pots, grow bags or flower beds.

Germination

Seeds generally germinate within:

7–14 days

under suitable warm conditions.

For successful germination:

• Use fresh seeds

• Maintain warm temperatures

• Keep the growing medium lightly moist

• Avoid deep sowing

• Provide bright light

• Maintain good drainage

Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

20–30 cm / 8–12 inches between plants

to encourage healthy branching, good airflow and well-developed flower plumes.

Sunlight

Provide:

Full sun

For compact plants, stronger stems and better flowering:

6+ hours of direct sunlight daily

is recommended.

Watering

Water regularly while young plants are becoming established.

After establishment:

Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

Keep the growing medium moderately moist but well-drained.

Avoid continuous waterlogging.

Feeding

At planting time, mix:

GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost

into the growing medium.

Light balanced feeding during active growth can support strong plants and larger flower plumes.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which may encourage leafy growth instead of flowering.
