Dehydrate the meat. Now comes the rewarding part â removing all moisture from your jerky. Using a dehydrator is the standard way of cooking jerky, although you can use an oven (see Step #3). Leave enough room between pieces to allow air to flow around the meat.
The kalanchoe, with its ruddy, succulent leaves, and bright bouquets of red, orange, white, yellow, or pink, is one of the best gifts to give or receive in December. For here is a plant that blooms for six months of the year, and has no special requirements for high humidity and cool temperatures. My favorite variety is pink âSensation,â pictured above. Read on, and Iâll tell you how to make kalanchoe bloom when you want it to. Like most succulents, this African tourist wants little except for twelve to fourteen hours of darkness every night for at least three weeks before Christmas â if you want it to bloom then. Like the chrysanthemum, it is a short-day plant.
Outdoor Care. Kalanchoe plants grown outside don't need much care. They have low water needs, whether grown indoors or out. Do not water plants unless the top 1 inch or so of the soil feels dry. Kalanchoes have sensitive roots and do not like soggy soils, which can cause root rot and kill the plants.alanchoes produce succulent green leaves and bell-shaped flowers. While usually grown as a houseplant, the succulent perennials of the Kalanchoe family can grow outside in regions with warm or mild winters. Climate needs vary by species, so to grow outdoors you need make sure the kalanchoe plant you choose can survive.
