Get prepared for the new summer sensation that you can grow in your backyard! Meet Callaloo, a leafy green plant that will bring way more benefits into your life than you think.
I’ve been planting them for years because they hold a special place in my heart (and in my garden, of course). I have to admit that since I started making meals with these delicious plants, I’ve never been healthier!
You know that homemade crops are a much better option than store-bought ones. Nothing compares to fresh plants and veggies from the garden. At least you know they haven’t been swimming in pesticides or sitting on the shelf waiting to be bought. Yikes!
Now, get ready to enter the world of Callaloo and reap all the benefits of growing this incredible plant!
Let’s get started!
#1 Healthy Lifestyle, Here We Come
This amazing plant has all the goodies you need for a healthy lifestyle. Callaloo is rich in vitamins such as K, A, and C, which are great for your skin, hair, bones, and teeth.
Bones are the most important thing for a gardener to keep healthy. You need them for running around in your garden all day and growing lots of plants!
With the help of callaloo, you won’t need to spend money on expensive weight loss products. It can boost your metabolism and, with the right diet, you can soon achieve the perfect summer figure!
Callaloo tastes just like spinach! It’s best to cook it in combination with different vegetables or add it to smoothies.
Your kitchen will be filled with such a wonderful aroma! Even your housemates won’t be able to resist it!
#2 Growing Callaloo Is A Piece Of Cake
Finally, the part you’ve all been waiting for! Take a look and see what you need to do to grow the best Callaloo ever!
- Place the plant in the sun. Callaloo requires at least six hours of sunlight a day. It’s always a bonus if a plant has drought tolerance, which callaloo does!
You don’t need to overthink and worry about whether your crops need shade. With their easy growth, they will be stress free.
- Water them. Watering is the best part! Especially if you’re busy all day and don’t have much time to spend in the garden. There’s no need to water unless the soil is completely dry. You’ll only need to do it once or twice a week.
- Add compost. It’s not necessary to fertilize Callaloo constantly, as it can grow in dry, clay-rich soil. You can add compost to the soil when you first plant it for fast and healthy plant growth.
- It’s harvest time! After forty-five days, your homemade Callaloo will be ready for the kitchen. You can harvest leaves every two weeks to stimulate new growth and have fresh leaves throughout the entire summer season!
Now you are ready to grow a brand new plant in your garden! Isn’t it great when your yard doesn’t look the same every year? A little change is good for everyone, especially if it is also very healthy for you!
I was in a big dilemma about Callaloo because this plant was unfamiliar to me, and I didn’t know if I could handle it. But when I realized it’s actually as easy as pie, I started planting it every year. Trust me, you will do the exact same thing!
Enjoy your new gardening journey with Callaloo!
