Yes. Celosia Argentea seeds generally germinate best when surface-sown or covered very lightly because they benefit from light during germination. Maintain warm temperatures around 70–80°F and keep the growing medium evenly moist.
Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, well-drained soil, and consistent moisture. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth instead of flowering. Removing faded flower heads can also help maintain an attractive display.
