Default Safe to compost Pointsettia?

We had a pointsettia that did poorly in our house (it was too large to
put near enough any light source). My husband tossed it in my compost
pile without asking me how to dispose of it.

Normally I wouldn't put a poisonous plant in my compost. Now I'm
wondering if I should just use the compost on my flower bed and not in
the vegetable garden, or if I should fish out the pointsettia? Or is
it perfectly fine to use on the garden once it breaks down?

Thanks!
