A device for directionally placing a plant propagule inside a hollow member, comprising: a. a platform element arranged such that a foldable member can be placed thereon; b. an actuating, foldable-member-dispensing arrangement (90a, 90b, 100) for placing a foldable member on the platform element; c. an arrangement (40, 50, 57)/ for placing a plant propagule on a foldable member placed on the platform element; d. means for identifying an imaginary line on the foldable member stretching through the root forming end to the shoot forming end of the plant propagule being directionally placed during operation, or the arrangement / is configured for placing a plant propagule on a foldable member such that it provides the plant propagule in a known orientation thus identifying the location of the imaginary line; e. an actuating folding arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) for folding the foldable member along said imaginary line to form a folded foldable member; f. an actuating, hollow-member-dispensing arrangement for providing a hollow member having a first open end; and g. an actuating placing arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) for placing said folded foldable member into the hollow member through the first open end; wherein the actuating folding arrangement (80,120)/(30,80) is optionally configured to also function as an actuating placing arrangement; wherein the device is configured for performing a method for directionally placing the plant propagule inside the hollow member, such that during operation, the device performs the steps of: I. providing the hollow member having a first open end by means of the actuating, hollow-member-dispensing arrangement; II. providing the foldable member, and placing it on the platform element by means of the actuating, foldable-member-dispensing arrangement (90a, 90b, 100); III. placing a plant propagule on said foldable member placed on the platform element by means of an arrangement (40, 50, 57)/; IV. identifying the root forming end and the shoot forming end of the plant propagule and identifying the imaginary line across the foldable member stretching through the root forming end to the shoot forming end of the propagule, by the means for identifying an imaginary line; V. folding the foldable member along said line by means of the actuating folding arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) such that the plant propagule becomes wrapped in the folded foldable member; and VI. placing said folded foldable member with the wrapped plant propagule into the hollow member through the first open end by means of the actuating placing arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80). a. a platform element arranged such that a foldable member can be placed thereon; b. an actuating, foldable-member-dispensing arrangement (90a, 90b, 100) for placing a foldable member on the platform element; c. an arrangement (40, 50, 57)/ for placing a plant propagule on a foldable member placed on the platform element; d. means for identifying an imaginary line on the foldable member stretching through the root forming end to the shoot forming end of the plant propagule being directionally placed during operation, or the arrangement / is configured for placing a plant propagule on a foldable member such that it provides the plant propagule in a known orientation thus identifying the location of the imaginary line; e. an actuating folding arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) for folding the foldable member along said imaginary line to form a folded foldable member; f. an actuating, hollow-member-dispensing arrangement for providing a hollow member having a first open end; and g. an actuating placing arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) for placing said folded foldable member into the hollow member through the first open end; I. providing the hollow member having a first open end by means of the actuating, hollow-member-dispensing arrangement; II. providing the foldable member, and placing it on the platform element by means of the actuating, foldable-member-dispensing arrangement (90a, 90b, 100); III. placing a plant propagule on said foldable member placed on the platform element by means of an arrangement (40, 50, 57)/; IV. identifying the root forming end and the shoot forming end of the plant propagule and identifying the imaginary line across the foldable member stretching through the root forming end to the shoot forming end of the propagule, by the means for identifying an imaginary line; V. folding the foldable member along said line by means of the actuating folding arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80) such that the plant propagule becomes wrapped in the folded foldable member; and VI. placing said folded foldable member with the wrapped plant propagule into the hollow member through the first open end by means of the actuating placing arrangement (30, 80)/(120/80).
