Compatibility between Orychophragmus violaceus and the Plant-Growing Concrete

Abstract:

Planting Orychophragmus violaceus in light-weight green concrete is feasible by drilling method. O. violaceus roots can fit the plant-growing concrete and surrounding perlite. Compared with O. violaceus roots growing in soil, the number of lateral and fibrous roots around the taproot growing in light-weight green concrete is much more. O. violaceus can be selected as a plant species growing in greening concrete.
