Planting & Care

1. Planting: For garden planting, plant in well-drained, moist, or dry soil rich in organic matter, such as well-decomposed compost, and in full sun. If repotting into larger containers, don’t bury the main stem below the soil surface.

2. Watering: Water your Dragon’s Breath® Celosia regularly and keep the soil moist for the first 7-10 days after planting. Mulch if desired to help retain soil moisture, and water more if under severe drought.

3. Fertilizing: Feed with a slow-release fertilizer upon planting.
