- How to Grow and Care for Celosia plant - Celosia plumosa, also known as Cockscomb is one of the hardiest Annual that you can grow at your home. The best thing about growing Cockscomb is that you can grow either in Winter season or in Summer season as well. Here in this video I have covered everything growing from seedling stage to flowering so that you get all the info in a single video.
Things That You Would Learn -
1. Selecting the ideal container for your Celosia plants
2. Preparing the best potting soil mix for Celosia plants. They are really hardy plant and would do well in any soil. But for better results, it's always a good idea to add at least 20-25% either vermicompost or composted cow dung manure to the potting soil mix
3. Sunlight requirements for Celosia plants
4. Watering your Celosia flowers
5. Best Fertilizer for Celosia or Cockscomb plants - they are not that heavy feeder. So, plz don't feed them too often
6. Pest management
7. Celosia plant propagation - there are two ways to do it. First one is obviously from the seeds. But you can grow or propagate Celosia plants from cuttings as well.

Thank you very much for watching the video and if you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great day :-)
My friend left a plant at my house and it blew a seed into my garden and now I have over thirty. Very easy plants to care fore. If you want to get taller blooms better for cut flowers, move to 3/4-1/2 day sun.
Got these already on bloom for my sister's birthday, I know she'll love them, being that she has a green thumb.
Lovely.. I bought these seeds planning to plant them for summer season to add colour in my balcony
Very great video!! Love the information, it helped me out a lot 😊 I just bought a lot of different colorful celosias yesterday and I’m excited to start getting into planting
I love these. I only bought the plants once, because they drop seeds all around when the flower stalk begins to die. They can take the worst heat where I live (sometimes as high as 45deg Celsius of even hotter and, like this video says, even winter, which sometimes goes down to 1 or 2 deg celsius. Once the plant is dead, all you need to do is keep watering the soil in the pot and more seedlings spring up in their place.
Thank you for your thorough video. I always learn a lot. I just bought one today.
Thank you so much for mentioning when to sow the seeds!
Was q8 nj
Thank you for such great advise on my new plants. I had no idea how to take care of them. I just may have over watered my new Celosia beginners plants. I will take your advise and wait until the soil appears dry.
@ParentProductions, Most welcome and glad to know it was useful. Thank you so much for your feedback, appreciate it. And Yes, plz be careful while watering and they rot too fast if the soil is too wet. Good luck with your plants :-)
I love these plants-they remind me of The Lorax's 'truffala tufts' :)
great video! I'm going to use your tips for my celosia:) you put a lot of effort in the video, thank you :)
@c3por2d27, Thank you so so much for your words, I really appreciate it :-)
A to Z...complete information....wd results....great effort dr
@Soumya Naik, Thank you so much dr...appreciate it :-)
Thanks for the videos. I sowed the seeds here in Delhi sometime in early February and they're about only an inch tall. I was beginning to loose hope but after watching your video I'm a little more hopeful that if i wait a little longer they will grow. Thanks
And could you please suggest Summer flowering plants other than Cockscomb, Morning Glory, Hibiscus, Zinnia, Sunflower and Balsam
@Andrew Karthak, They would grow well and would do really very well, good luck :-) There are many plants that can be grown in Summer and I already have 3 videos on it. When you get some free time, Plz watch the following 3 videos and I hope, you won't need any more plants to grow in Summer - 1. Summer Bulbs - ruclips.net/video/XR6ejftAC7M/видео.html 2. Summer Creepers n Vines - ruclips.net/video/fMCwlBlL3N0/видео.html 3. More - ruclips.net/video/dL4-hmBXpD8/видео.html Well, there are still few more plants that can be grown in Summer and if you need more, plz let me know. Thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanks a lot
I think you can grow some summer bulb like Asiatic lilly and amaryllis lilly, tuberose...
@@GardeningUpbeat where is your garden?
I love these beautiful plants
Sir thanks for amazing video....pls tell in what size pot is good for celosia ? I brought from nursery in 5 inch smallest pot and plant is getting dull and no leaves are growing...when to do pinching?
Min 6 inch or 8 inch if some plants in one pot
Tkz for the detailed info.Plz can you tell me why my celosia flowers grow like stucs and not bushy.I would be grateful to u if u help me in this regard
Hi Love the video…unfortunately I think I overwatered my dragon’s breath plant and now all blooms are gone and it is looking pretty bad. how can I revive it…if at all
Please advise how many inches deep celosia plant roots go. Also in Delhi summer should the blooming plant be kept under direct sunlight or under 50% net or under 75% net for long duration blooming
I have mine in deep grow bags and they barely reach 6inches down. They seem to be quite shallow rooted.
I have mine in full sun and they deal very well with it. I just make sure to water them everyday and mulch the soil surface with shredded bark and branches. It helps keep the hot sun off the soil and keep the moisture in the soil.
this is exactly what i needed in a vid, plus the guy is cool :) thank you
waw.... very nice garden. ..... Appreciate your effort of planting
@TastyLife Plant Lady, Thank you so much for your words, really appreciate it :-)

@ME Toons, True...many said same :-) Thank you for watching :-)
I used to be scared of the cockscomb version when I was a kid. There was just the flower head laying on the ground and it was so creepy looking. It scarred me for life.
Lol
thankyou great information and instructions for me in Perth WA😀
Wow! These are beautiful!
Thank you. Your video is good👍👍👍
Thank you very much for your feedback, appreciated!
Great job.well explained!tkz fr sharing
Great work and information.
Many thanks for your information from Germany!
Regards
I will grow these from seeds this year! Thank you for sharing.
Hi! Just wanna ask what is that small clay pot you used for celosia before transplanting to a bigger pot. Thank you in advance!
That is a small clay tea cup usually seen on Kulhad Tea Stalls
Verry good information
@RITA BALCONY GARDEN, thank you so much for the feedback, appreciate it :-)
Thank u for info. Can i grow these in June ,July month ?
@Smarty Shona, Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it :-) Yeah, we can but would be bit better to wait till September. For Summer flowering, it's better to grow from the end of Feb. Anyway, there are lots of other plants that can be grown even now like - Tithonia, Gomphrena, Tuberose, Gaillardia etc.
thankyou for ur amazing and useful guide sir! :)
You are most welcome and thank you for your amazing feedback, appreciated and sir is not required actually!
thankyou for the great info.❤❤❤
So beautiful flower s
Thank you so much 🙂

General suggestion for liquid fertiliser for all plants... in Tamil they say panchakavya and fish amino acid, both mixed together and dilute in water... each 5 ml in one litre water... giving this in 15 days intervals encourages more blooms...
@ramya jegannathan, That's really great and definitely I am going to try it (actually have been thinking to order Panchakavya from long time). Panchakavya is not available in my place. So, going to try online and let you know the result. Thank you so much :-)
Is it okay if I sow seeds during june and expect blooming in august/September?
Very informative. Thank you. Hope you started this video from seed sowing.
Can you describe life cycle of celosia. When to clear the pot and plant new?
@Waldo Alcantara, Sure, I would be glad too :-) For Winter season, best time to sow the seeds is September end - October and they would be blooming till around April - May well. After that, they almost stop blooming like before and we can plant new plants again. For summer bloom, we can start sowing the seeds in March end and this way, we can enjoy the blooms throughout the whole year. Hope that helps and plz let me know if you have any question. Thank you :-)
i laughed so much when you said the sparrow helped you pinched the plant. lol. You have a free worker in your garden :D
@Avarinth, Ha ha...thank you :-) I have many of them :D
I've been googling how to care for celosia for many weeks, but it seems no matter what I do my celosias are drooping. The leaves slowly droop down till they look like the plant is wearing a dress of leaves, and then the stem starts bending over. The leaves look green and have no spots and are not hard and crinkly. I don't know what I'm doing wrong T.T they're in well draining soil in containers with holes in the bottom of the container and they get 7-8 hours of full sun a day. It's very humid here and right now day temperatures are between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Very useful video
Thank you so much 😃
So where/ how do you cut them? Do you cut off the large bloom so that the smaller ones can grow? Can someone please advise? I think I’ve already inadvertently murdered one of my celosia that looks more like a cockscomb 😟
Can I sown in rainy season and is it all seasonal plant?
Great video, what type of soil did you use for the seedlings in the small tea cups please?
How cute small potss
Where did you buy the baby celosia? Or did you grow it yourself and then transferred it to the bigger pot
@Dora The Explorer, I bought them from a Nursery in my place..wanted to save time and so bought the seedlings instead of sowing seeds. But, they are easy to grow from seeds as well, need less water though..Thank you :-)
Excellent video...very helpful...
@Sarbani Mukherjee, Thank you so so much Ma'am, appreciate your feedback :-)
Thank you very much !
Hello sir..
Flower ane ke bad ye vapas flowers deta hai ya mar jata hai?
Hi sir ..I have planted this one ..and in small age only( 25 days) it starts flowering before the transplanting only ...so whether I have to pinch the flower or can go for transplanting ??
Such lovely plants,the only problem is these don't last much.
Oh how many years
@@pavanshiv1296 mine lasted for a season only in gurgaon.
@@kumudinihomegarden9139 very bad I love this plant I thought it's long lasting 🥺
@@pavanshiv1296 Don't loose heart. It might last for ever with you. Sometimes it depends from place to place and your own care 😊
@@kumudinihomegarden9139 thank you mam Im ur new subscriber saw ur video ☺️
It's been 2 months and my celosia flowers are still small...Will they bloom to bigger ones like you have shown?
Same! It's been about 30 days since they germinated and they are all less than 1" tall compared to the 4"-6" tall tomatoes and peppers. Not sure what has gone wrong but not giving up on them!
Ditto. The plants grew, but not the flowers...

What do you mean by clear soil sir ?
Beautiful blooms.. useful video...
@ramya jegannathan, Thank you so much Ramya for the feedback, appreciate it :-)
thank you so much for the video😊 i will grow and share feedback 😊
@Bhavana Soni, Thank you so so much for the feedback, appreciate it :-) Good luck in growing them let me know if you find any issue. Plz be extremely careful while caring the baby seedlings. They rot really very fast. Use sandy type soil media to sow seeds and keep them in partial sunlight. Thank you :-)
Is this summer flower?
Can I grow them with 60% Coco peat and 40% vermicompost as potting soil in a railing pot? Bcoz railing pot needs less weight . Are celosia plants seasonal or bloom round the year? The leaves are infected. How to overcome sir?is cockscomb plant also seasonal?
They are very adaptable in terms of soil. Got mine to grow in 100 compost, so with extra cocopeat, just ensure to fertilize seedlings well (1/2 strength of adult plants,) and make sure the soil dries out between waterings, because they do rot when over-watered.
The leaves of my ones look a bit damaged when they are heat stressed. It never kills them and they recover once the hot weather cools down.
My plants dyed threw the winter. They were in the house... Can I cut them back and water and will they live?
Celosia will die in winter just save its seeds and it will pop up again in summers and rain

Very good information, thanks for doing the video tutorial
@J Gre, thank you so so much for the feedback, appreciate it :-)
My celosia plant was doing very well but now we have had a lot of rain and the plant is dying. I am guessing it doesnt like so much water? Is it better to dig it out of the garden bed and put it in a large pot outside and move out of the rain in future? What do you suggest please?
@Jackie Bitton, You are absolutely correct, it doesn't like too much water. Sure, moving out the plant to an other place would be good idea and definitely you can do that. Good luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you!
Transferred it to pot and gave lots of sun and a little water only because I thought moving it, it might need it. Added a little Seasol to water. Still not happy at all!!! 😞
@Jackie Bitton, It would take some days...just after transplanting, a plant goes through a transplant shock and take some days to recover it :-)
Cute plantss
Useful video thank you. 😘
@Somer \ , Thank you SOOOOOOOO much, much appreciated :-)
It’s rainy season so are we supposed to keep them in open rain or under shade?
ruclips.net/video/DBKqkAKjujw/видео.html
Open rain
Thank you very much
@Nandalal Adhikari, Most welcome and thank you very much for watching :-)
Hi I just bought a Celosía plant a week ago, and I think I over watered :( what can I do if it's drying up?
@Alejandra Nunez, Over watered plants are bit difficult to save as they rot very easily. Before watering, please let the top soil dry out completely. For the over watered plant, please loosen up the soil a bit and maintain a good airflow. Hope it recovers...
@@GardeningUpbeat in
Thanks for sharing
@Mannat Terrace Garden, Most welcome and thank you for watching :-)
Can you keep these outside in a garden? How large do they get by fall if you transplant them into a garden bed.
ruclips.net/video/DBKqkAKjujw/видео.html
They can get upto 9-10 feets long
Nice information
@Garden Globe, Thank you very much for your feedback, appreciate it :-)
Do l bring the plant indoors 4 winter?
Yes please...they cannot tolerate frost. We don't get such issues in our place as it's quite hot :-( I wish there were frost in the winter..he he..
I came to learn about mine and didn’t know the ones that are completely red existed and guess who will try to find that one now....
If my celosia plant is dying because of the cold temperatures, what can I do with it until Spring and Summer come back?
If you can’t move them indoors, put them next to a wall where the heating of your home will come through. Keep watering once the soil becomes dry, but it won’t be needed as much as other times of year. The heat coming through the wall should keep them warm enough the survive winter.
Does celosia need pruning? If u could do a small video on trimming and maintaing,
@Beautiful You With Ankita, Pinching is needed to make them look bushier! As I have shown in the video, the sparrows did the pinching thing for me, ha ha :-) Thank you for watching the video :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanxx for ur prompt reply 😃😃
Love ur videos
Hii.. I feel my seedlings r growing very slowly. Wat can I do for it?
Nitrogen rich fertilizer for plant growth, Phostrogen for larger, more prolific blooms. If the whole plant is slow growing, I give them a dose of a 20-20-20 fertilizer once per month. Those numbers stand for nitrogen, Phostrogen and potassium. Nitrogen boosts green growth, phosphorous boosts flower development and potassium boosts root development.
Wow it's amazing 👌
Such a great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great video...thank you 🌻👍🌻
Good information sir
@Harjinder Singh Sajjan Hoshiarpur Punjab, Thank you very much Sir for your feedback n for watching the video, appreciate it :-)
Good job
Sir kindly tell me which month is the best time to start planting Celosia cockscomb.
Is it necessary to deadhead celosia to get more bushy plant and more flowers?
I just cut away what is dead and whenever I have to cut out a plant entirely, seed dropped down by that dead flower head means more will grow back in their place.
I brought this plant in rainy season. How do i take care of it? As there is no sunlight
@Sidra Shaikh, If possible, protect from too much rainfall as there is a chance of rotting, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat My plant started drooping 😭 what do i do.
hi sir .... yesterday i just bought this plant and plant them in pot but today i saw that its not grow tell plss give me some tips
Can we grow celosia in hanging basket...
May I get the Celosia three different colours seed
Ye flower kis month tak rehta hai agar ham ferbary me laga. De
@Premvati Gangwar, They bloom at least for 5-6 months (minimum) continuously and I believe this is quite great considering they are low maintenance plants. But, plz also note that too high temperature like (above 35 on a constant basis) is not good for most of the flowering plants. Feb me lagaye to, June-July tak to aram se flowering karega, sirf ache se care kijiyega. Thank you :-)
Will they regrow after I cut flowers?
Yes and, if the worst happens and the plant dies, cut the dry flower head off, sprinkle over a new pot of soil. Cover lightly with more soil and water until you see new plants germinating. They are very easy to propagate! I put seed heads in brown paper bags at the end of autumn, keep them inside until Spring, then plant and grow them again. I even see some coming up in the old soil of flower pots I have forgotten about.
Amazing
@New Mind Garden, thank you very much :-)
sorry, what size container did you use? could not understand. thanks
@no mane Jane, 8 inch and 3 plants in one pot :-) Thank you for watching the video and there is nothing to be sorry! Have a great time ahead :-)
From where may I get cilosia plant
What if I live in a tropical climate and it's almost the same weather all year
These plants ten to not do well in the Florida sun,it’s hard to know how much water they need..
Help! I planted 3 seeds in each fiber pot cell 8 weeks ago and they are only 1" tall! I do not know what I did wrong but at this rate, they will never be big enough to plant outside. Each 1" stem only has two leaves at the very top of each stem.
If you planted in winter or we call its harvest season it will give one to two leaves and a small flower and die plant them in rain or summers June-July.

Hello what kind of soil cactus soil or regular plant soil
Regular plant soil that is free draining, but does retain some moisture. I feel that cactus mix may dry out too fast.
is it small clay seeding pot ?
My soil is clayey. Instead of sand, can I use cocopeat to make it loose?
@ria sengupta, Sure, you can. Thank you :-)
Sir celosia life time how many days???
How big do they get though?
From where you buy these saplings ?
Hello, can i use dap for fertilizer?
@Uknown Hacker, Definitely, we can :-)
