What to do when your kefir grains don't work right and wont grow

If you've been having problems with your kefir grains, like they are getting crusty, or they wont grow, or your milk is turning sour before it turns into kefir, then you will want to watch the video below. I made this video to specifically address problems that you might be having with kefir grains.

 Making kefir can be so easy and rewarding but making it every day is a lot of commitment so after research and practice I now can get my kefir grains to actually grow during the winter when I don't really use kefir that much. It's pretty darn simple to do, but I have a ton of other tips so if you want to know all my ticks then please do watch the video below or by clicking This Link Here.

How I water my succulents and cacti.

So this week I have two posts for you because I forgot to post my video from last week on here so I have two of them for you! One is this one and the other is a kefir grain video where I talk all about how to have success with kefir grains, how to keep them alive, and even how to get them to grow when your not making kefir. Anyhoodles todays post is how I water my succulents and cacti.

I water my succulents according to their individual preference. Some I water twice a week, some once, and the rest every two to three weeks. I fertilize them with an organic fertilizer every month except for during the winter. Some need fertilizer during the winter, it just depends on their growing season so be sure to check yours especially if you are wanting it to grow and bloom. It's pretty simple and easy to do but I do have a video for you that includes some new air plants that I just had to show you.

How I water all of my house plants

I have gotten a few questions about how I water all of my house plants so i decided to make a video about it. Now, this video is almost 30 minutes long, but it only takes me like 15 minutes at the most to water all of my plants. Anyway if you are interested in seeing how I water my plants watch the video below or click this link HERE to watch it. 

I have some plants that I watch for the water to drain fast, like for my succulents, and others I want to see the water drain slower. For my plants that need more water I give them more especially if the soil is pretty dry, and I water it until the water soaks down slower. Then I mist all my plants that need misted, and I run water over my orchids to water them. So I put them in the sink and run the water so that it drains out of course and helps to wash away mineral build up. My air plants get a mix of soaking and misting during the week.
My succulents that need more water like my sting of pearls usually get watered every week with my other plants and then also when I water all of my other succulents and cacti. My African violets get fertilized every week, but my venus fly trap on the other hand never gets any fertilizer except for bugs every few weeks in one of its traps.

My routine is pretty simple and takes very little time out of my week. Before I water my plants I go through them all and clean them up, dust around them and then clean the floors. (I usually do this on one of my floor cleaning days.) After that I water all of my plants that need a drink. Then a couple times a week I check on my water loving plants and water any that need it and mist all the plants that like extra humidity. I live in a dry climate so thats why they need a little extra care but that takes less than five minutes.
