应当做的第一件事
office is to assess your light conditions.
就是评估你的光照条件
I’m a big fan of the Light Meter app.
我是光度计这款应用的忠实粉丝
You can use it on any iPhone or Android
在苹果或安卓手机上都可以用
and be able to assess how much light you have in your space.
它能测出你所处空间有多强的光照
Oh,we’ve got about medium light here.
噢 我们这儿测得光约为中等强度
One of the best ways to measure light is footcandles,
最好的测光方法是采用呎烛光(光的照度单位)
and it’s one of the easiest to understand.
同时这也是最容易理解的方法之一
Low-light plants are plants that usually get about 30 footcandles.
弱光植物就是那些得到约30呎烛光照度的植物
Medium plants are plants that need about 50 to 100 footcandles.
中光植物指那些需要50到100呎烛光照度的植物
And high-light plants are usually plants that need 150 footcandles and up.
强光植物常指光照需求大于等于150呎烛光的植物
– [Narrator] What if my office has more light than that?

not on the plants.

Once you’ve determined how much light you have in your space,
一旦你确定了所处空间的光照强度
you should really start to think about the care needs

需要你花很多精力照顾的植物 尤其是
to be out of work or taking weekends off.
你即将失业或出去度周末
So it’s good to focus on plants that have low-maintenance needs.
所以最好去关注那些养护要求不高的植物
The ZZ in particular is a really great plant
ZZ就是一种与众不同的植物
because it’s so versatile.
因为它特别全面
It can take high-light and low-light, and it really survives in drought conditions.
它能承受强光或弱光的照射 也可以在干旱条件下生存下来

Choosing the right vessel for your plant is equally as important as the plant itself.
为你的植物选择合适的容器和挑选植物同等重要
You can choose a plant that has a drainage hole on the bottom

and it usually comes with a saucer to make sure
通常也会附带一个托盘
you don’t spill water on your desk
以确保不会把水洒在桌子上

或者你可以挑选一个底部没有排水孔的花盆
but it’s really important if you’re choosing a planter
如果你真的选了一个

One of the best planters you can use for your plant
为植物准备的最好的一种花盆
is actually one that’s subirrigated.
实际上是可以进行底部灌溉的花盆
By that, I mean that instead of watering
关于这个 我认为这种方式不同于
at the top of the planter,
在植物的上方浇水
you’re actually gon na fill the bottom with water
你可以向花盆的底部注水
and so the plant can drink from the root system down below.

then it’s really all about the watering.
那么能否养活它们就与浇水有关了
What you wanna avoid is what we call blind watering.
你需要避免的 是我们所说的盲目浇水
That’s when you look at a plant and you say,
那就是 你注视着植物
“Hmm,it kinda looks thirsty,” and you just water it.
“唔 它看起来有点儿渴了” 于是就给它浇了水
That’s not really the way to water.
这确实不是浇水的正确方式
You need to use more of your senses to figure it out.
你要调用更多的感官去找到正确的方式

你需要轻轻触碰土壤
It’s also how you’re gon na get some of the best benefits of biophilia.
这也是你享受热爱生命的好处的一种方式
You really need to engage with your plants
你需要与植物和它们生存的环境
