Purple Spiky Celosia

My purple spiky celosia has faded in colour since I bought it last month, and I was wondering where I've gone wrong.

It was a beautiful vivid violet colour when first purchased but now looks a bit bleached, and the flowers feel a bit dry.

I'm keeping it indoors in the soil it came in, it's in sunlight (but on a North-facing window - don't have access to the South side due to placement of apartment). I water it often enough for the soil to be moist but not over/under-saturated (so every other day usually - perhaps I'm not watering it enough?)

Leaves all look healthy, but the flowers are looking rather sad at present.

I'm new to plant-keeping, could anyone give advice as to how to bring my plant back to it's former glory?

Sounds as though you may be over watering it. Also, it will fade as the flower dies off. I'm not sure how long the flowers last on celosia.
