I don't see anything that shows it as toxic....however, if you purchased the plant from a large store and not an organic nursery...then I would not plant it in the enclosure for at least a year....see, insecticides/herbicides/fertilizers are heavily used and especially so in a plant that is massed produced to assure "flash".....so any of these things can be systemically part of the plant. So to allow a full years growth would allow the plant to move any of those chemicals out and then would be a prime plant for an indoor enclosure.....
