A method for cultivating a plurality of young plants of different species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit. The method includes providing a plurality of propagation pots, each containing a substrate, which allow roots that form in a propagation pot to grow out at the sides, loading at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots such that the propagation pots arranged in each growing container contact one another along a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, introducing at least one cutting or seed into each propagation pot, and allowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the sides of the propagation pots have formed a network of roots binding the propagation pots together as a cluster of propagation pots.

1. A method for the cultivation of a plurality of young plants which differ in terms of species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit, comprising: providing a plurality of propagation pots containing a substrate, each of the plurality of propagation pots having an open top end and a lateral peripheral surface, which allow roots that form in each of the plurality of propagation pots to grow out of the peripheral surfaces; providing at least one growing container with a plurality of cavities formed therein, the plurality of cavities including sets of cavities that are next to each other and the cavities in each set open into each other to form a cluster, each cavity having a shape so as to firmly position a corresponding propagation put in lateral peripheral contact with at least one other propagation put in the same cluster, and each cavity configured to support a bottom portion of the corresponding propagation pot;loading the at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots in such a manner that one propagation pot is arranged in each cavity and each propagation pot of a cluster is in contact with one another in at least a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, while another portion of their peripheral surfaces are not in contact with one another, the bottom portion of each propagation pot is supported by a corresponding cavity;introducing at least one cutting or seed into each propagation pot, wherein at least one propagation pot receives a cutting or seed, variety or species, different from at least one other propagation pot; andallowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the portions of the lateral peripheral surfaces of the propagation pots in contact with one another have formed a network of roots which binds the propagation pots in the growing container together as a cluster of propagation pots and holds them together. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the substrate contained in the propagation pots is adapted to the particular variety or species. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the substrate has a water-retention capacity which is adapted to the particular variety or species. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the substrate has a pH value which is adapted to the particular variety or species. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein depending on the variety or species present in a propagation pot, the substrate contains a growth regulator. 6. The method according claim 1, wherein depending on the variety or species present in a propagation pot, the substrate contains a plant-protection agent. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the plant-protection agent is a fungicide. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the portion of the peripheral surfaces not in contact with one another is between two lateral peripheral surfaces that are in contact with one another. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of cavities of the growing container are defined by arcuate walls such that only a portion of the peripheral surfaces of the propagation pots are contained by the arcuate walls. 10. The method according to claim 1 wherein multiple growing containers are arranged on a cultivation tray. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the propagation pots are selected from a group consisting of containing pots made of nonwoven material, peat, wood fiber, peat substrates combined with an organic adhesive and combinations thereof. 12. The method according to claim 1 further comprising removing the cluster of two or more propagation pots from each growing container and repotting each cluster of propagation pots in a cultivation vessel for finished products. 13. A method for the cultivation of a plurality of young plants which differ in terms of species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit, comprising: providing a plurality of propagation pots containing a substrate, each of the plurality of propagation pots having an open top end and a lateral peripheral surface, which allow roots that form in each of the plurality of propagation pots to grow out of the lateral peripheral surfaces;introducing at least cuttings or seed into each propagation pot, wherein at least one propagation pot receives a cutting or seed, variety or species, different from at least one other propagation pot;allowing roots to form in the substrate of each propagation pot; providing at least one growing container with a plurality of cavities formed therein, the plurality of cavities including sets of cavities that are next to each other and the cavities in each set open into each other to form a cluster, each cavity having a shape so as to firmly position a corresponding propagation put in lateral peripheral contact with at least one other propagation put in the same cluster, and each cavity configured to support a bottom portion of the corresponding propagation pot;loading at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots in such a manner that one propagation pot is arranged in each cavity and each propagation pot of a cluster is in contact with one another in at least a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, while another portion of their lateral peripheral surfaces are not in contact with one another, the bottom portion of each propagation pot is supported by a corresponding cavity; andallowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the portions of the lateral peripheral surfaces of the propagation pots in contact with one another have formed a network of roots which binds the propagation pots in a growing container together as a cluster of propagation pots and holds them together. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the substrate contained in the propagation pots is adapted to the particular variety or species. 15. The method according to claim 13, wherein the substrate has a water-retention capacity which is adapted to the particular variety or species. 16. The method according to claim 13, wherein the substrate has a pH value which is adapted to the particular variety or species. 17. The method according to claim 13, wherein depending on the variety or species present in a propagation pot, the substrate contains a growth regulator. 18. The method according to claim 13, wherein depending on the variety or species present in a propagation pot, the substrate contains a plant-protection agent. 19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the plant-protection agent is a fungicide. 20. The method according to claim 13 wherein multiple growing containers are arranged on a cultivation tray. 21. The method according to claim 13, wherein in that the propagation pots are selected from a group consisting of containing pots made of nonwoven material, peat, wood fiber, peat substrates combined with an organic adhesive and combinations thereof. 22. The method according to claim 13, further comprising removing the cluster of two or more propagation pots from each growing container and repotting each cluster of propagation pots in a cultivation vessel for finished products.
