Translation 无土栽培或水培法是一种在营养液（含有营养物质的水）中栽培植物的技术，它可以使用或不使用人工基质（如沙、砾石、蛭石、岩棉、珍珠岩或锯末）为植物提供支持。水培法一词源于希腊词汇hydro（水）和ponos（劳作）的结合。 水培园艺如日常园艺一样容易操作。两者都需要有充足的光照、水分供应和适宜的温湿度。但是水培法不使用土壤。自然条件下，土壤充当着储存矿物营养的角色，但土壤本身对植物生长来说并不是必不可少的。当土壤中的矿物营养物溶解于水时，植物根茎才得以吸收。若植物所需的矿物营养物由人工添加入其水分供应中，土壤就不再是植物茁壮生长所必需的条件了。几乎所有的陆生植物都能用水培法来栽种。这种技术还具有产量高、节水省地、保护环境的特点。 . ?
