How do composite materials prevent algae growth on outdoor flower pot surfaces?

Composite materials are increasingly popular for outdoor flower pots due to their ability to resist algae growth. Unlike traditional materials like clay or terracotta, composites are non-porous, leaving no room for moisture retention—a key factor in algae formation. Many composite pots also incorporate UV-resistant additives and antimicrobial properties, further inhibiting algae and mold development. Their smooth surfaces make cleaning effortless, reducing maintenance efforts. By choosing composite flower pots, gardeners enjoy durable, algae-free planters that retain their aesthetic appeal for years.
