Celosia, the furry plant that comes in red and puple colors loves sun. Water, but don't overwater. IF you live in a climate hot as heck like I do----95 and above every day of summer, then it will take some water each day, but don't soak. It does not grow inside, but the good news is, it is a perrenial in some states, so it may come back next spring or summer. I would put it in a spot where it got full sun, but some afternoon shade if you live in a climate like mine. Most any plant suffers from 95, high humidity and over everyday, unless it is a cactus.
Sit them outside during the day for a while and see if they improve. Don't laugh, it really works!
Celosia is usually very tolerant of the sun and heat. It should be kept outside in the ground. Make sure it is not too wet. If it keeps wilting for no reason you may have a bacterial wilt and need a funcicide like daconil to help it out.
If you've had it in full sun that's really strong, bring it in for a couple of days to "rest." They need well-draining soil high in organic matter.After a couple of days, put them in a spot where they'll get half the sun they were getting, & keep a close eye on them. You could try putting them where theyll get all the morning sun, & only daylight in the afternoon. Good luck, they're charming plants.
It is usually an outside plant but try it inside in an high light window.
I've heard they can go either in full sun or part shade. Probably depends on what area you live in.
