However, the above-mentioned citation technique has disadvantages that plants of various sizes can not be planted because plants are planted in the same fixed space formed by joining the outer and base plates.

In addition, since a space in which plants are planted is formed by joining the shell plate to one base board, even if the shape of the shell plate is changed, the change of the entire space is insignificant and it is inconvenient to plant plants of various sizes. Since only plants can be planted, there is an inconvenience that various plants can not be planted in accordance with the user's taste.

The object of the present invention is to provide an air purification apparatus for purifying air by preventing plants and vases from being easily damaged and planting plants of various sizes.

In order to solve this problem, a plant-based air purification apparatus according to the present invention includes a frame including a plurality of bases; And a planting material container having a receiving space formed therein for planting the plant and being coupled to at least one base of the plurality of bases; The planting container may be installed in a frame of various sizes depending on the number of bases to be connected.

In addition, the plant food containers may be of different sizes depending on the combination of the matrices of the bases to be joined.

And the base includes a hole formed on one surface of the frame; A mesh covering the hole; And a fixing unit coupled to the frame to fix the mesh; Wherein the vegetable material container comprises: a coupling part coupled with the fixing part; And a vegetation part where the plant is planted; Wherein one side of the vegetation part is opened so that the roots of the plant can pass through the mesh network.

In addition, the frame may include a root growth part for allowing the roots of plants planted in the planting material container to grow smoothly; And further comprising:

And the root growth portion is formed of a porous material having a void formed therein.

Further, the fixing portion and the coupling portion are formed in the same shape.

And the fixing portion and the coupling portion are formed in a U-shape.
