What are the effects of prolonged leaf litter contact on synthetic rattan flower boxes?
Prolonged contact with leaf litter can have several effects on synthetic rattan flower boxes, commonly used in outdoor decor. Over time, accumulated leaves and organic debris may trap moisture against the rattan surface, potentially leading to mold or mildew growth. This can weaken the material and cause discoloration. Additionally, decomposing leaves release tannins and acids, which might degrade the synthetic fibers if not cleaned regularly. To maintain durability, it’s advisable to remove leaf litter frequently and rinse the flower boxes periodically. Proper care ensures synthetic rattan remains weather-resistant and visually appealing for years.
