The plant propagating body comprises a plurality of connected parallel tubular foamed polystyrene containers 3. The containers 3 are connected together by a web 2 which is integrally moulded with the containers 3. The containers 3 each have a top opening 3a and a bottom opening 3b. The interior of each container 3 is occupied by a non-toxic porous or fibrous plug 5 which has a plurality of interstices some of which are of capillary dimensions. The plant propagating body has particular application in the propagating of a seed - placed on top of the plug 5 for example - to a seedling which may then be transplanted in a hydroponic module or transplanted to a more conventional horticultural medium such as soil. <IMAGE> |
