An attractive late-flowering new foliage celosia collection for the market! Two distinct bicolour foliage patterns are featured in the collection. Offers relatively fast production time and no downy mildew issues. Foliage tends to be more green when kept indoors, and it turns to burgundy when the plant is left outdoors for at least 1 to 2 weeks.
Full sun means 6 hours of direct sun per day; partial sun means 2-4 hours of direct sun per day; shade means little or no direct sun.
Fertilizer may not be necessary. If the plants seem to be growing slowly, apply water-soluble fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio every two weeks or use a slow-release granular fertilizer. Tie the flowers on taller cultivars to stakes to keep them from falling over or pinch the stems back as they grow to encourage a more bushy plant. Using clippers sanitized with rubbing alcohol, remove the flowers as they fade to promote more flowers.
The best time to prune Celosia flowers is when the blooms are just beginning to bloom. This is called leaf bloom and it is when the Celosia leaf starts to thicken and turn into tiny flower buds. This is largely dependent on how large of a bloom you are dealing with, but you should try and keep as much of the flour mass above the ground as possible. If you cut any lower than the bloom line, then you will not be able to take any of the foliage with it as it will die from lack of water.
Maintain growing temperatures (day) 65 to 70° F and (night) 59 to 61° F. Provide plant nutrition during finishing: 100- to 175-ppm nitrogen and 0.7 to 1.2 EC. In summary, Gekko Green and Lizzard Leaf foliage celosia are great heat-tolerant additions to your foliage programs.
