Are natural rattan outdoor planters prone to mildew in shaded areas?
Natural rattan outdoor planters are a stylish choice for gardens and patios, but many wonder if they are prone to mildew in shaded areas. The answer is yes—rattan’s organic fibers can retain moisture, making it susceptible to mildew in damp, low-light conditions.
To prevent mildew, ensure proper airflow around the planters and avoid overwatering. Regularly clean the rattan with a mild soap solution and let it dry thoroughly. Applying a protective sealant can also help repel moisture.
For shaded areas, consider placing rattan planters under covered spots with indirect light or using synthetic rattan, which resists mildew better. With proper care, your rattan planters can stay beautiful and mold-free for years.
