Weeping Fig

Gorgeous and easy to manage, this indoor plant DOES have a downside, and that is that it can mess with your system if you have respiratory issues. The symptoms, in this case, are comparable to latex allergies.

Dust particles from the stem or leaves can enter the air, and when combined with the sap of the plant, it can prove to be toxic. This plant can also cause skin rashes and a few other allergy symptoms.

So, all in all, even though the magnificence of the Weeping Fig might tempt you to throw caution to the wind, you should abstain from adding it to your collection of indoor plants.

If you have many indoor plants that need constant watering, this Watering Can from Amazon will make keeping your plants hydrated a breeze!
