Growing Information:
Celosia: Germination: 8-14 days at 70-80°F. Culture: Indoors - 6-8 weeks before last frost. Light aids germination. Transplant out after danger of frost is past. Outdoors - 4" apart, after danger of frost is past. Thin. Growing On: 63-68°F night with long days. Low temps. and less than 12 hours of light/day cause premature flowering. Light/Soil: Full sun; moist, fertile soil, high in organic matter. Spacing: 6-12". Use: Fresh or dried cut flower, borders, beds, containers. Harvest: Flowers fully developed. Hang to dry. Celosia Bombay Series: Germination: 7-14 days at 64-77°F. Culture: Greenhouse (recommended) - sow in individual pots or containers; light aids germination. Keep moist. Transplant to beds 2-4 weeks after emergence. Do not delay planting. Outdoors - sow after danger of frost is past (if season is sufficiently long). Barely cover. Thin. Alternatively, transplant out greenhouse-grown plugs after frost. Growing On: 62°F nights, 64-66°F days. Protect from aphids and thrips in seedling stage. Low temperatures and less than 12 hours of light/day may cause comb shattering and flat stems. Avoid water stress. Avoid overhead irrigation once flowers begin to develop. Light/Soil: Full sun in well-drained, poor soil. Provide shade only if light intensity is very high. Short days induce flowering; schedule to allow sufficient long days for stem development. Do not fertilize. Spacing: 5-6". Horizontal netting advisable. Use: Fresh or dried cut flower for professional growers. Harvest: Fresh - upper diameter of comb is approx. 4" and lower 2" are past flowering. Vase life: approx. 3 wks. with preservatives. Dried - Remove foliage, hang. |
