A method for planting a plant propagule with a root forming end and a shoot forming end, comprising the steps of providing a growth substrate and an elongated tubular hollow member (2), inserting the root forming end of the propagule into the hollow member (2) such that the shoot forming end does not enter the hollow member (2) and withdrawing the hollow member (2) through the growth substrate in the direction opposite of the shoot forming end, whereby the propagule is planted in a hole (3) in the substrate left by the hollow member (2), with the root forming end located within the substrate and the shoot out of the substrate. Associated devices are also provided.
