To provide a planting apparatus enabling blinder so that spaces between mutually adjacent grates of a handrail having a vertical grate-shaped protective fence is seemingly kept in a good appearance by planting.

A plantable culturing container body 1 forcibly inserted and arranged into each space between vertical grates of the handrail P is formed by pressing the width of the container body 1. The culturing container body 1 is equipped with a two-forked leg part 2 in which the bottom of the culturing container body 1 is formed in arch-like recessed shape so as to be mounted on the lower chord material S of the handrail in a state striding over the lower chord material S, a projection 11 for fastening and fixing capable of binding a binding member 16 around left and right upper-side opening edges so as to fasten and fix the upper-side opening edges of the culturing container body 1 held between vertical grates F to the vertical grates F. A draining hole 3 is formed in the recessed place of the bottom between leg parts 2. The projection 11 for fastening and fixing is formed by a U-shaped frame-like hook part 13 formed so as to mutually face the opening sides toward the insides from each upper end of left and right pair of standing pieces 12 standing from the upper-side opening edge of the culturing container body 1.
