Abstract
An improved growth container and method for growing a plant to be transplanted are provided. The interior of the side walls of the container have a lattice of root-trapping recesses therein each having a trough with a pointed end for directing roots growing therein downwardly and outwardly so as to form trapped lateral root tips. The side panels can be disconnected and moved laterally apart to prevent damage to the root tips trapped in the recesses.
