如何给多肉植物浇水？
Discover how and how often to plant these trendy and versatile plants that can grow indoors, outdoors, and in containers.
来看看这些眼下既流行、又有着很多用途的多肉植物的种植方式吧，它们既可以种在室内、也可以种在户外和各种容器里。
Succulents store extra water in their leaves, stems, or roots, which gives them the ability to survive a while between waterings (sometimes a month or more). Because they have a reputation for being drought-tolerant and growing in arid conditions, many people fail to realize that when you bring them into your home or garden, they still need to be watered regularly. In order to keep your succulents thriving, it's not a good idea to force them to go without water for weeks or months at a time. No matter where you end up planting them, there are a few tips for you can follow for how often to water succulents that will save them drying out too much, and also prevent you from overwatering them.
多肉植物在叶子、茎或根中储存额外的水分，这使它们在两次浇水之间（有时一个月或更长时间）可以存活一段时间。由于它们以耐旱和生长在干旱条件下而闻名，所以很多人没有意识到，当你把它们带到家里或花园里时，它们仍然需要定期浇水。为了让你的多肉植物茁壮成长，强迫它们一次几周或几个月喝不到水并不是个好主意。不管你最终在哪里种植它们，有几个小建议可以告诉你多久给多肉植物浇一次水，这样可以避免它们太干，也可以防止你给它们浇水过多。
Planting Succulents in Pots
盆栽多肉植物
Succulents like well-drained soil. According to Horticulturist Bryce Lane with North Carolina State University, a good quality potting soil mixed with either a material such as perlite will help ensure good drainage. He recommends two parts soil to one part drainage material. In addition to quality potting media, make sure your containers have drainage holes because too much moisture can result in rotten roots.
多肉植物喜好排水良好的土壤。北卡罗莱纳州立大学的园艺学家布莱斯·莱恩认为，一种优质的盆栽土壤，与珍珠岩等材料混合，将有助于确保良好的排水。他推荐两份土一份排水材料。除了高质量的花盆材质外，还要确保容器有排水孔，因为过多的水分会导致根部腐烂。
How to Water Succulents Indoors
室内多肉如何浇水
Rather than giving your succulents sips of water here and there, give them a good soaking, to the point the water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer beneath the plant pot. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Lane recommends checking the soil a week after watering; if it's still moist, wait another week.
与其让你的肉质植物到处喝水，不如让它们好好浸泡，直到水从盆底的排水孔流出。一定要把流入花盆下茶托的水倒空。然后让土壤完全干透再浇水。莱恩建议在浇水后一周检查土壤，如果仍然潮湿，再等一周。
Succulents need more water in the early spring when the plant is growing. Water needs may lessen in the summer and even more so during the winter. When the light decreases during the winter months and most succulents are in a dormant period, their water requirements also decrease. During winter, water your succulents when the soil is dry. This could be as infrequently as once per month but will depend on your conditions.
多肉植物在早春生长时需要多一些的水。夏季对水的需求可能会减少，冬季更是如此。当冬季光照减少，大多数多肉植物处于休眠期时，它们的需水量也会减少。在冬天，当土壤干燥时给你的多肉植物浇水，这可能是少见的每月一次，但将取决于你那里的条件。
The frequency of watering will also depend on the light and growing conditions in your area, as well as the size of the container. The larger the container, the more moisture it can hold. Small, shallow pots may need to be watered more frequently.
浇水的频率也将取决于您所在地区的光照和生长条件，以及容器的大小。容器越大，它能容纳的水分就越多、小而浅的罐子可能需要更频繁地浇水。
How to Water Succulents in Outdoor Containers
如何为户外容器中的多肉植物浇水呢？
Summer is a good time to move potted succulents outdoors. Though they love sun, give them a chance to acclimate to outdoor conditions by placing them in a partially shaded area before moving to a sunnier location. Keep them out of intense sunlight from late morning to midafternoon. Outdoor plants generally need more water than indoor plants. Again, your conditions will dictate how often succulents will need water. Start by checking on a weekly basis, paying attention to the condition of the potting media and whether it's bone dry or moist. Succulents (and cacti) grown in shallow containers, may need water every few days.
夏天是把盆栽多肉植物搬到户外的好时机。虽然它们喜欢阳光，但在搬到阳光充足的地方之前，先把他们安置在一个部分遮荫的地方，这样他们就有机会适应户外环境。从早上晚些时候到下午，不要让它们受到强烈的阳光照射。室外植物通常比室内植物需要更多的水。同样，你的条件将决定多肉植物需要水的频率。从每周检查开始，视花盆材质的情况、以及是否干燥或潮湿，生长在浅容器中的多肉植物（和仙人掌）可能每隔几天就需要水。
How to Water Succulents in the Ground
如何为种在地上的多肉植物浇水呢？
Succulents, particularly sedums, can also thrive in the ground. They might need to be watered weekly, depending on conditions. Established plants will have a stronger root system and tolerate dry conditions much better than new plants.
多肉植物，特别是景天，也可以在地里茁壮成长。它们可能需要每周浇水，这取决于条件。已长成的植物远比新植物有一个更强大的根系、且更耐干燥。
Whether you grow hardy or annual succulents, they need to be in well-drained soil. "Standing water is a prescription for disaster," Lane says. As with houseplants, soil conditions and water needs go hand-in-hand. Lane recommends replacing existing soil and making sure the subsoil drains well. Or an easier approach is to raise the bed or mound the soil in the areas where you plant succulents. One- to 2-foot mounds of organic-based compost mixed with perlite or PermaTill will help ensure plants thrive even if they are in conditions that are different from their native areas. Good soil, a good soaking, and good drainage equal happy plants.
无论你是种植耐寒植物还是一年生多肉植物，它们都需要在排水良好的土壤中生长。”积水会带来灾难，”莱恩说。与室内植物一样，土壤条件和水的需求是密切相关的。恩建议更换现有土壤，并确保下层土壤排水性良好。或者一个更简单的方法是在你种植肉质植物的地方抬高床或者堆土。一到两英尺高的有机堆肥堆与珍珠岩或透层混合将有助于确保植物生长，即使它们所处的环境与原生地不同。好的土壤，好的浸泡，好的排水可以带来快乐的植物。
