Celosia Cockscomb Growing Season In India 
Celosia is a flowering plant that only prefers dry, sunny and warm conditions. In India, you can sow celosia seeds during spring or summer (February - April) when the weather are warm and dry. 

How To Grow Celosia In Pots 
Celosia is a low-maintenance plant and is perfect if you are growing it in containers. You can plant celosia directly in pots as it does not like to be transplanted or you can sow the seeds in a coco peat coin so that the roots are not disturbed. The size of the pot or grow bag should be at least 30 - 45 cm deep and wide and the spacing between celosia plants should be 20-30 cm.

Celosia Cockscomb Dwarf Mix Seeds Sowing Method 
Take a pot or grow bag and fill it with potting mix. Spread good-quality celosia seeds on the soil and cover the seeds with a very thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Celosia seeds do not require light to germinate, keep the soil moist but avoid over-watering. The optimum temperature for germinating celosia seeds is 23-26°C and it takes about 7-14 days to germinate.

Celosia Fertilizer Requirements  
Add organic fertilizer or a nitrogen-rich liquid fertilizer to celosia plants every month to encourage foliage growth.
To encourage more blooms, apply a fertilizer containing phosphorus when the celosia is established.

Celosia Plant Care Tips
Soil : Celosia grows very nicely in well-drained and sandy loamy soil. 
Water : It does not require much watering, you can water it once a week or when the soil is dry. Always keep the soil moist, but do not allow the soil to dry out for too long.
Sunlight : Celosia thrives in sunny, dry, and high-humidity conditions. It grows best in 6-8 hours of direct sunlight however, it can tolerate partial shade. 
Temperature : The temperature between 15-30°C is ideal for growing celosia flowering plants. 
Common pests and diseases : Certain pests such as aphids and mites inhibit celosia plant growth and diseases such as powdery mildew and fungal infections infect the plant. These problems arise due to over-watering in the soil, if you keep the soil moist and do not allow too much water in the soil then this problem will be solved.
Pruning : To encourage new bloom and healthy plant growth, deadheading of spent flowers and removing unwanted or infected stems or leaves are essential. Deadhead will also help to prevent reseeding.
