PINCHING: Pinching is not necessary for all species of Celosia, but is still recommended to increase branching (the number of stems and flowers produced) and uniform flower size. ... When plants are 8–12 inches tall, pinch the stem with your thumb and index finger or use sterilized scissors to remove the growing point.

Why is my celosia falling over?

One of the most common causes for celosia plant death is an infestation of mites. ... They quickly reproduce so that several generations of mites may be sucking your plant foliage dry. If plant foliage begins to turn brown-bronze and become dry and brittle, closely inspect the plant for mites.

How do you bring celosia back to life?

Celosia can bloom from June until frost. During that time, deadheading your Celosia will encourage new blooms. Remove the flowers as they start to turn brown and loose color. If you wait too long after this point, seed development starts and the plant puts its energy into that rather than new blooms.
