ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for growing a number of plants from cuttings, in a limited space, while mechanically resisting root entanglement. Tubes are placed in a container into which water is added. Plant cuttings are placed individually into the tubes such that the leaf portion of each plant is supported by a tube and the stem portion is suspended in water inside the tube. When roots develop, a growing medium may be added to prolong root growth or the plant may be removed from the tube for permanent planting. Methods of root growth stimulation are also disclosed.
