=== Toxicity ===

Plants sold in any store can vary in levels of toxicity and some may even require specific handling. The most important thing a plant owner must know is how toxic (if not outright poisonous) their plants are. Do you have pets or kids who might try to chew on these plants? Then you must do everything you can to keep them out of reach. Always check the toxicity of any plant you buy, don't assume anything based on the species of plant, because some plants of the same type can vary in levels of toxicity. Other plants are misclassified with deceptive names. For example: Most palm trees are non-toxic, but the "Sago Palm" is a cycad, not a real palm tree, and it can cause liver failure in humans if any part of it is ingested. Some plants like the Pothos are only mildly toxic, and will most likely cause discomfort long before enough of it is ingested to cause serious issues. Use your own personal judgement.
