The present invention relates to a plant container (13) for the propagation and growth of plants. The plant container (13) comprises at least one section of material, which is configured to define a space having a plant receiving end (27). The at least one section of material has an inner surface and an outer surface, with the inner surface defining a plurality of recesses (19) and a plurality of protuberances (21). Each recess narrows towards an aperture (23), and each recess is defined in part by first (22) and second (24) substantially opposing surfaces such that the recess is asymmetric in form.
