    Hello there;
    I was wondering if there is a special way or trick to grow Celosia Cristata from seeds, you see every time I saw the seeds they germinate but then after a couple of days or so they start to look weak and bend, are there special conditions to grow in?
    What am I doing wrong?....................Thanks for your time

    No special trick that I use. I've let them selfseed and I've harvested seed and kept it in the refrigerator for 2 years, yet still had good production. Make sure the seed is black and shiny when you harvest though. Also, don't bury them deeply, maybe just scatter a light dusting of earth over them.

    I thin out the weakest and the ones that are too close together though.

    So you are saying that some of the seedlings are weak and could die, because I don't sow by the tens, I just put one or two in each pot (Ihave small pots).
