I'm not sure about that plant but another concern is the soil. Soil can harbor parasites. Some pre-potted plants can also come with fertilizer in the soil.
Live plants are great but plastic can be removed and cleaned very easily and don't have the other drawbacks.
According to this website it is a non-toxic plant if that was one of your concerns.
Toxicity of Common Houseplants
Just something to thing about.

There is no way for any of us to make that call.

It is always a roll of the dice when you introduce anything from outside.
Baking the wood or rocks will kill any parasites, bugs, etc.
I bake wood for an hour at 220 degrees. Many times I forget it's in there and it bakes for hours.

Forget the hair dryer. The wood needs sustained heat.
You'll probably have to cut the wood down.

Rocks can go in the oven also. Cuts down on the mess and cleanup.
