Lavender, known for its fragrant  flowers and silvery foliage,  

薰衣草以其芬芳的花朵和銀色的葉子而聞名，

is native to the Mediterranean and thrives  in well-draining soil with moderate moisture.

原產於地中海，在排水良好、濕度適中的土壤中茁壯成長。

While establishing, young lavender  plants require regular watering,  

在建立過程中，年輕的薰衣草植物需要定期澆水，

about once or twice a week, ensuring  the soil doesn't become waterlogged.

大約每週一次或兩次，以確保土壤不會被淹沒。

Once matured, lavender is drought-tolerant,  reducing the need for frequent watering.

一旦成熟，薰衣草就具有耐旱性，並減少了頻繁澆水的需要。

In this stage, watering once every two  to three weeks is usually sufficient.  

在這個階段，通常每兩到三週澆水一次就足夠了。

During hot and dry spells, you might  need to water a bit more frequently,  

在炎熱和乾燥的時期，您可能需要更頻繁地澆水，

but always let the top few inches of  soil dry out between watering sessions.

但在澆水之間始終讓頂部幾英寸的土壤乾燥。

Overwatering or letting lavender sit  in wet soil can lead to root rot,  

澆水過多或將薰衣草放在潮濕的土壤中會導致根部腐爛，這是

a common issue with this plant.

這種植物的常見問題。

Ensure it's planted in well-draining soil or pots.  Remember, when in doubt, it's better to underwater  

確保將其種植在排水良好的土壤或盆中。請記住，如果有疑問，最好將

lavender than to overwater, as it prefers drier  conditions reminiscent of its native habitat.

薰衣草放在水下而不是澆在上面，因為它更喜歡乾燥的條件，讓人想起它的原生棲息地。
