Abstract
Apparatus for planting green plants on reinforced concrete structures includes a T-shaped base mount having a positioning hole connected to an L-shaped tube and a high density sponge inside. The base mount is connected to a cylinder which includes a positioning hole connected to a T-shaped tube. A sand-releasing tube is connected at the bottom of the T-shaped tube and a funnel-connected snake-shaped tube is connected at the top. Another positioning hole on the cylinder is connected to an L-shaped air pipe. A cover plate having a hole at the center is attached to the top of the cylinder, the hole in the cover plate being connectable to a planting tube. The cylinder is connected to an anchor-shaped metal handle and a cylinder fixing frame so as to position the entire apparatus on steel rods within the reinforced concrete structure.
