Agricultural technology for growing Celosia seeds
1. Variety selection
When choosing a celosia variety, the following factors must be considered:
- Purpose of cultivation: For cultivation as an ornamental plant, varieties with beautiful inflorescences are selected, which can be painted in various colors, including red, yellow, orange, pink and purple.
- Winter hardiness: Celosia is a heat-loving plant that does not tolerate frost.
2. Soil preparation
Celosia is a light-loving and moisture-loving plant, so to grow it you need to prepare a sunny and well-drained place.
The soil for planting celosia must be fertile and neutral or slightly acidic.
3. Landing
Celosia can be grown either by seedlings or by sowing seeds in open ground.
When growing seedlings, celosia seeds are sown in March-April in seedling boxes or containers. Shoots appear in 7-10 days. Seedlings are planted in separate pots or cups in the phase of 2-3 true leaves. Seedlings are planted in open ground in May-June, when the threat of frost has passed.
When sowing seeds in open ground, the seeds are sown in May-June, when the soil warms up to +15 °C. The seeding depth is 1-2 cm.
4. Plant care
Celosia is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good growth and development, the following measures must be taken:
- Watering: Celosia is a moisture-loving plant, so during the growing season it is necessary to water the plants regularly, especially in hot weather.
- Fertilizing: During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Weeding: It is necessary to weed regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
- Loosening: It is necessary to regularly loosen the soil around the plants to improve aeration and moisture permeability of the soil.
5. Harvest
Celosia begins to bloom in July-August. Flowering of celosia continues until the end of autumn.
Additional Tips
- To obtain earlier flowering, celosia can be grown as seedlings.
- To increase the decorativeness of the plant, you can shape the bush.
Additional information
- Celosia is an annual plant that can reach a height of 50-70 cm.
- Celosia inflorescences can be of different shapes and sizes.
- Celosia is a good honey plant.
