I know Lowes & home depot set apoxy type products you can put down on your garage floors and we were thinking of applying that to the lanai floor - but my husband was concerned that the lanai concrete would be too rough/bumpy to apply the apoxy (different type of finish than a garage floor). Would love some 'reasonable' ideas and thanks so much

Yes, it requires very little maintenance. But when you do clean it, you power wash it or use a stiff broom and a hose. Sweeping up is easy. The big thing I like about the river rock is the fact that it minimizes pooling of water. Even after a big rain storm, you can walk out there without puddles. The stone is semi porous and any water, to a point, drains down to the base level, like a hard sponge. Plus, it doesn't show the dirt like tile or pavers or painted floors.

We are absolutely happy with our Chattahoochee river rock as well.

I think because the concrete has microscopic pores that allow the mold to grow but even though we say the river rock is porous, the individual pebbles are coated in the epoxy that binds them together and the epoxy is not porous.
