I'd recommend keeping it out of reach from your pet, or in a room they cant go in

I was completely paranoid at first too about making sure nothing was toxic in the house. The location and your pets are really the concern. I’ve noticed my pets don’t bother my plants. Still not risking putting one where they can get to it, but it does make me feel a little safer. So, I do have toxic plants, but only where none of my babies can get to them… even if a leaf fell. But, you also get plenty of notice really before a leaf falls. It’s not as scary as I thought it would be. At least not for me. Kitchen counter, guest room, I can find somewhere safe :)
