Germination

Celosia argentea spicata, commonly known as Flamingo Feather, follows a straightforward germination process. To initiate germination, sow the seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Prepare a seed starting mix, ensuring it's well-draining, and lightly press the seeds into the surface without covering them, as they require light for germination. Maintain a consistently moist environment and provide bottom heat if possible to expedite germination, as Celosia seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when temperatures range between 70-75°F (21-24°C). Once germinated, ensure adequate sunlight exposure or provide artificial light for at least 12 hours a day to promote healthy growth. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. With proper care and attention to these guidelines, you can expect successful germination and robust growth of Celosia argentea spicata.
