The invention relates to a multi-layer mat having pouches (21) for cultivating plants (31) for interior and exterior greening which forms at least one pouch compartment and contains a woven first layer (36) made of crossing strands (34) having elastic properties. The woven first layer (36) forms at least one intersection point (32) at which at least two strands (34) cross, wherein by elastic stretching of the strands (34) the at least one intersection point (32) forms a temporary planting opening (33) for the insertion of a cutting or caudex (31).
