How does leaf litter accumulation affect natural rattan planter surfaces?
Leaf litter accumulation on natural rattan planter surfaces can have both positive and negative effects. Over time, decomposing leaves release organic matter, enriching the soil and promoting plant health. However, excessive leaf litter can trap moisture against the rattan surface, leading to mold growth or material degradation. Rattan, being a natural fiber, is susceptible to prolonged dampness, which may weaken its structure. Regular cleaning and proper drainage are essential to prevent damage. Additionally, leaf litter can attract pests or block sunlight, affecting the plants inside. Balancing leaf litter benefits with maintenance ensures rattan planters remain durable and functional.
