Claims13
A plant propagation system, including:
- a holder for holding at least two plants in relative spaced apart relation, the holder having two or more trays, the two or more trays being stackable to form a stack of trays through which the plants can grow;
- cutting mechanism adapted to effect a lateral cutting operation between a respective pair of adjacent trays in the stack of trays;
- a container for receiving the stack of trays therein;
- and
- a media delivery system for selectively supplying a nutrient supply to the container, wherein the media delivery system includes:
- a flexible nutrient container for holding a predetermined volume of the nutrient supply;
- and
- an activation mechanism operatively associated with the nutrient container, wherein the activation mechanism can selectively deform the nutrient container to cause at least a portion of the nutrient supply to flow from or to the container via a supply line.
