Celosia

Brief Description

Celosia is an annual plant known for its brightly colored, plume-like or crested flowers. The plant in the image appears to be a young celosia, likely a dwarf variety, with small, vibrant red and yellow/white flower heads and green leaves.

Care Instructions

Celosia thrives in full sun (at least 6-8 hours daily) and well-draining soil. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering. It's often grown as an annual and can be started from seed.
