@YesWeed Welcome to Greg!

Why Are There Holes in My Celosia Leaves?

Celosia leaves are usually caused by pests attacking the plant. The most common pests that attack celosia plants are caterpillars, aphids, and whiteflies. These pests will feed on the leaves of the plant, causing them to become damaged and eventually die.

If you notice holes in your celosia leaves, it is important to inspect the plant carefully for signs of these pests. They are likely hiding on the underside of the leaves or in the soil around the plant.

How to Treat Celosia Leaves with Holes?

It’s important to get rid of the pests ASAP. Big pests can be removed by hand, but for smaller pests like aphids and whiteflies, you’ll need to use an insecticide. Be sure to follow the directions on the label carefully.

Neem oil is my favorite organic insecticide. You can find it at most garden stores or online. It is made from the neem tree, won’t affect your plants, will kill pests, and is safe for humans and pets.
Thank you so much Kristy ! I think I'll try neem oil
@Annasea yess the Indian weathers are usually favourable for most of the plants , it doesn't snows or rains that much in my city , it may be too sunny at times then we keep them in shade
Maybe but there is also a chance of being eaten by bugs
