Precautions

The water dripping from the leaves of the weeping angel plant is non-toxic, but its leaves will absorb harmful gases. But a living room is not a chemical factory, and the toxic gases emitted are not enough to cause obvious harm to the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to spray water regularly when raising it at home. On the one hand, it can clean the leaves to achieve the best ornamental effect; on the other hand, it can dilute the toxic substances on the leaves and reduce their toxicity.
