The invention relates to a propagation container (10) comprising a circumferential wall (12), which bounds at least two cavities (14) arranged next to each other, each cavity having a center longitudinal axis (A) and the cavities being open to each other along part of the lateral circumferential surface thereof, wherein each cavity (14) has an upper access opening (16) and a bottom (18), between which upper access opening (16) and bottom (18) of each cavity (14) run at least two retaining ribs (20, 22, 24) that extend substantially vertically and are spaced from each other in the circumferential direction, which retaining ribs protrude radially from the circumferential wall (12) into the associated cavity (14) and define a cylindrical or conical frustum-shaped accommodating opening (30) centered at the center longitudinal axis (A) of the associated cavity (14), and the mutual distance of the center longitudinal axes (A) is dimensioned in such a way that the lateral circumferential surfaces of the accommodating openings (30) touch or overlap. By means of such a propagation container (10), of which several can be arranged on a propagation plate, it is possible to allow propagation pots located in the accommodating openings (30) for raising young plants to grow together to form a unit.
