The plant cultivation tub (100) is parallelepiped in shape and with a hollow interior. The upper face of the tub is open (110). The tub is separable so that a package of the plants can be removed from the tub and placed in a furrow. The tube can be separated using lines of weakness defined by grooves formed in the side-walls and base of the tub. The base of the tube can have drainage holes (160) in it.
