Abstract
Apparatus for the greenhouse cultivation of flower bulbs wherein the bulbs are placed in pockets (6) made in a hydrophilic mineral wool felt (5). The pockets (6) are formed at regular intervals and open only on one face of the felt. The opening formed in each pocket is of a slightly smaller size than the maximum diameter of a bulb (3) intended to be received in the pocket. The depth of each pocket is sufficient for the bulb (3) positioned therein to penetrate the pocket at least to the level of its largest section.
