How does humidity affect the expansion of natural rattan outdoor planter fibers?
Humidity significantly impacts natural rattan outdoor planter fibers due to their porous and absorbent nature. When exposed to high humidity, rattan fibers absorb moisture from the air, causing them to expand. This expansion can lead to warping, cracking, or loosening of woven sections over time. Conversely, low humidity may cause the fibers to dry out and become brittle. To minimize damage, it’s advisable to place rattan planters in shaded, well-ventilated areas and apply protective coatings. Understanding these effects helps in maintaining the durability and aesthetic appeal of rattan outdoor planters in varying climates.
