HOW TO GROW CELOSIA 

• Celosia is one plant that requires minimum maintenance. But let’s look at ideal conditions in terms of soil, light, drainage, and more.
• Though it’ll thrive in nutrient-poor soil, you’ll aid its growth by adding soil amendments. Well-aged cow manure, peat, and leaf compost will all promote its growth.
• Here’s how you can unleash the full potential of your cockscomb flowers:
• Expose the plants to at least eight hours of direct sunlight a day.
• Plant it in well-drained soil. Otherwise, the plant is likely to develop root rot. 
• Tall plants may have trouble supporting the weight of their blooms. In this case, stake the plants to provide much-needed support.
• Apply a 3 to 6-inch layer of soil amendment 10 to 12 inches deep into your garden beds. 
• Add sulfur, should you need to lower the pH and lime should you need to raise it. The plant prefers a pH of 6.0–7.0
• Although drought-tolerant, water your cockscomb flowers regularly. Working in a 3-inch layer of organic mulch can help control weeds and keep the soil moist
