How to care for celosia
For concerned netizens to elaborate on how to raise celosia and related knowledge of green plant flower maintenance skills, let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
The celosia planted at home bloomed a few weeks ago, with orange-red flowers adorned with yellow edges, clustering together and looking very beautiful. It occurred to me that this kind of flower may not be well understood by flower friends, so I want to share some key points of celosia maintenance with them today.
Celosia is a member of the chrysanthemum family. At first glance, it looks quite similar to marigolds, so many flower friends can't tell the difference between these two flowers. In fact, it is still very easy to distinguish between celosia and marigolds because the petals of marigolds are of a single color, either统一的 yellow or unified orange; while the petals of celosia are mostly matched with two colors, and the size of the flowers is also larger than that of marigolds. As long as you distinguish from color and size, you will never be confused again.
Celosia also has a very down-to-earth nickname called "stinky chrysanthemum," which is not an insult to it, but an accurate description of it, because it gives off a smelly odor that some people can't stand.
However, celosia is very beautiful. It is a very common horticultural decorative flower. Many parks and flower beds plant large areas of celosia, which look extremely beautiful and spectacular. Moreover, not only is celosia easy to care for, but it also has a very long blooming period, from June and July to October every year. If well maintained, it can even bloom for a longer time.
How to care for celosia
The most favorite thing about celosia is that its blooming period is relatively easy to control. Flower lovers can advance or delay the blooming period of celosia through certain methods.
Celosia is a "short-day" flower, which means that although celosia needs ample sunlight, the duration of sunlight should not be too long. If the daily sun exposure time is just right, it can promote the differentiation of flower buds to the maximum extent and help celosia bloom; if the daily sun exposure time is less than normal, it may cause the blooming period to advance. Therefore, flower friends can use this growth characteristic of celosia to control its blooming period.
Celosia is actually very easy to care for. If新手 flower friends are worried about killing the plants, it would be very appropriate to start with a pot of celosia!
