How do WPC outdoor tree boxes resist fungal growth compared to untreated wooden planters?
WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) outdoor tree boxes are designed to resist fungal growth far more effectively than untreated wooden planters. Unlike natural wood, which is porous and absorbs moisture, WPC materials are engineered to repel water, reducing the damp conditions that fungi thrive in. The composite blend of wood fibers and plastic creates a non-absorbent surface, preventing rot and mold formation. Additionally, WPC often includes antimicrobial additives that further inhibit fungal growth. Untreated wooden planters, on the other hand, are highly susceptible to moisture retention, leading to decay and fungal infestations over time. For long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor planters, WPC offers a durable and fungus-resistant alternative.
