Prepare the planting container: Fill a small pot or seed tray with a high-quality seed starting mix. The mix should be moist but not waterlogged.
Sow the seeds: Sow the Flamingo Celosia seeds on the surface of the seed starting mix, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart. Lightly press the seeds into the soil, but do not cover them completely.
Cover the container: Cover the pot or tray with a clear plastic dome or plastic wrap to create a humid environment for the seeds to germinate. Place the container in a warm, bright location, but out of direct sunlight.
Maintain moisture: Check the pot or tray daily and mist the soil with water or water from the bottom of the container to keep it moist.
Wait for germination: Flamingo Celosia seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days. Once the seeds have germinated, remove the plastic covering and move the container to a bright location with filtered light.
