A method for producing, without the help of a substrate, a plurality of rooted cuttings includes inserting at least one unrooted cutting into pockets arranged successively in a longitudinal direction of a strip element. Each pocket has an opening at a top side facing a transverse direction and a bottom side that is at least partially closed. The strip element is formed at least in part of biodegradable material having a liquid retaining capacity of at least about 100 g liquid per 100 g of biodegradable material dry weight. The strip element has first and second wall-forming members fixed to each other in a spacer area adjacent each pocket and arranged to at least partly overlap in the longitudinal direction and to not fully overlap in the transverse direction. The first wall-forming member extends past the second wall-forming member in the transverse direction at the top side of each pocket.

Method and system for producing, without the help of a substrate, a plurality of rooted cuttings from a plurality of unrooted cuttings

A method for cultivating a plurality of young plants of different species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit. The method includes providing a plurality of propagation pots, each containing a substrate, which allow roots that form in a propagation pot to grow out at the sides, loading at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots such that the propagation pots arranged in each growing container contact one another along a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, introducing at least one cutting or seed into each propagation pot, and allowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the sides of the propagation pots have formed a network of roots binding the propagation pots together as a cluster of propagation pots.
