It's really hard for me to choose a specific one. I have really good luck with schefflera, pothos will grow without even any soil, but my favorite is the ficus alii. At the same time, i hate the ficus benjamina, so if I vote for ficus, people will assume benjamina because it is the most common. I can't decide.

Jerm: You bring up some good points. Too late to edit the poll options though.

I like schefflera and pothos as well. I have not tried the ficus alii yet.

Is Jasmine Safe for the chams? It sounds like a good Idea.

According to anapsid.org

JASMINE (Cestrum spp.); fruit, sap; gastrointestinal tract affected by solanine glycoalkaloids; nervous system affected by atropine-like toxins.
Anyone else using this?
