What are the differences in flammability between rattan and polyethylene pots?
When choosing plant pots, flammability is an important factor to consider, especially for indoor or high-heat environments. Rattan pots, made from natural fibers, are highly flammable and can catch fire easily when exposed to open flames or high temperatures. In contrast, polyethylene pots, being synthetic plastic, are much more resistant to ignition and tend to melt rather than burn rapidly. While rattan offers a natural aesthetic, polyethylene provides greater fire safety. Always consider the placement of your pots—near heaters or sunlight—to minimize fire risks. For safer options in fire-prone areas, polyethylene is the better choice.
