Plant one or two callaloo seeds per inch 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep in rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Keep the seeds moist but not soaked and they should germinate in 10 to 21 days at a temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Callaloo seeds with black seeds are thickly branched and will grow up to 4 feet high, so thin them 24 to 36 inches apart. Since white-seeded varieties have fewer branches, thin them 1 to 2 feet apart. You typically do not have to water mature callaloo unless there is a drought. In extremely dry conditions, moisten the soil once or twice a week.
