👻🌿 MEET CELOSIA ‘TWISTED’ — THE FLOWER THAT LOOKS LIKE IT ESCAPED FROM A HAUNTED GARDEN! 🌿👻
Okay… this one is officially creepy-cool! 😈
Celosia ‘Twisted’ has blooms so wildly ruffled and twisted, they look like some kind of brain from a botanical horror movie. 🧟♀️🌺
And yet… this little monster is actually pretty easy to care for!
🕸️ OUTDOOR CARE:
☀️ Lots of sun! Give it 6+ hours of sunshine for the best colour and flowering.
💧 Water when the top inch of soil feels dry — keep it evenly moist but never soggy.
🌱 Good drainage is a must. Celosia hates having wet feet… even spooky plants have standards! 😂
🌸 Deadhead spent blooms to keep things looking fresh and encourage more flowers.
💨 Give it some air circulation to help prevent fungal problems.
🏚️ BRINGING IT INSIDE?
Celosia ‘Twisted’ can be enjoyed indoors as a houseplant temporarily, especially while it's blooming.
☀️ Put it in your brightest window — south or southwest is ideal.
💧 Let the surface of the soil dry slightly between waterings.
🌡️ Keep it warm and away from cold drafts and chilly windows.
💨 Good air circulation helps keep those creepy-crawly fungal problems away!
🎃 OUR SPOOKY TIP:
If your Celosia starts looking sad indoors, don't blame the ghosts! 👻
It usually means not enough light, too much water, or chilly temperatures.
🌺 Celosia ‘Twisted’ — because sometimes your garden needs a little BEAUTIFUL WEIRDNESS! 😂🖤
Would you dare put one in your Halloween display? 🎃👇

🌿✨ CURTIS’S STAFF PLANT CHOICE FOR SEPTEMBER! ✨🌿
🥁🥁🥁 MEET THE BEGONIA MACULATA! 🥁🥁🥁
If you’re looking for a houseplant with a little WOW factor, this spotted beauty is definitely worth a look! 😍
🤍 Why Curtis picked it:
• 🐆 Those SPOTS! — The polka-dotted leaves make this plant look like it was dressed up for a fancy night out! 😂
• 🌿 Beautiful foliage — The silvery-white spots against the deep green leaves are absolutely stunning.
• 🏡 Perfect indoor plant — Bring it inside and enjoy its tropical look throughout our long Ontario winter.
• ☀️ Loves bright, indirect light — Give it a bright spot without blasting it with harsh direct sunlight.
• 💧 Likes consistency — Keep the soil lightly moist, but don't let it sit in soggy soil. Nobody likes wet feet… not even a Begonia! 😂
• 💨 Humidity is your friend — Our dry winter air can be tough on tropical plants, so a little extra humidity can help keep those leaves looking fabulous. I'm
• 🌱 A little winter TLC goes a long way — As growth slows during the darker months, ease up on watering and fertilizer and let your Begonia take a little winter vacation.
🌴 THE BIG BONUS?
When everything outside is grey, cold and covered in snow, your Begonia maculata can bring a little tropical personality right into your home! ❄️➡️🌴
And according to Curtis… the spots alone are reason enough to take one home! 😂🪴
Come see us. You might just find your next favourite houseplant! 🌿✨
