When you first plant it, celosia likes regular watering to help it get established, but once it gets going, it's quite drought tolerant. While watering, remember not to overwater plant to avoid leaf spots, stem rot, root rot and other fungal diseases. |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
