Please research before purchasing these Sago "Palms". I did not know until reading the other review here and do have small children in the home. Even a scrape with the fronds can cause a reaction. There is not a part of this plant that is non-toxic. What is even more scary is that even with prompt and agressve medical treatment these can be fatal in about 3/4 of cases with pets. Children weigh about the same or even less so I would hate to think of what would happen should my kids become exposed! And despite the name they aren't even palms, they are cycads.Mine has been in the home for less than a year and after reading further on the internet from reputable sources it is going straight into a bag then into the trash. It is one of the most toxic plants out there. Not worth chancing my child's health (may cause permanent liver damage) over a plant!
