Growing time: Celosia Plumosa is an annual plant that blooms profusely during the summer and fall. Plants begin flowering approximately 8 to 12 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Celosia Plumosa is distinguished by its fluffy, feather-like inflorescences, making it a highly prized flower in both gardens and dried floral arrangements. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it is a hardy plant that tolerates heat and drought well.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Celosia Plumosa is relatively drought tolerant, but prefers regular watering during dry periods to maintain continued flowering. Keep the soil lightly moist, but well drained, and avoid overwatering, as the roots may rot.
Pests: This plant is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by aphids and spider mites. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: Celosia Plumosa does not tolerate frost well and is sensitive to cold. It is recommended to sow after the risk of frost has passed in spring.
Substrate: A well-drained and slightly fertile substrate is recommended. Celosia Plumosa is an adaptable plant that can grow in poor soils, but a soil enriched with compost will give better results.
Harvest: Celosia Plumosa flowers are ideal for cutting and using in floral arrangements fresh or dried. For dried flowers, cut the inflorescences at their peak and hang them upside down in a dark, well-ventilated location.
