Pothos!!!!

Use pothos and ficus both seem to live well in cage.

Lately I am really loving the pothos plants. they are great for chams to move around on.

I also have a Cham plant from Jeweled Chameleons, it is doing GREAT and I wish I had more of them. The trick with them is to let it establish itself in the pot you intend to to have it in... once it gets the roots going.. LOOK OUT! Mine was growing 6 inches a week. (maybe not THAT much.... but it was mad)

About the Ficus.....Is it normal to loose a lot of leaves? Mine drops tons!!! I think it might not have enough light? My cham loves it though....

ficus dropped its leaves usually for 2 reasons:
1. not enough water
2. too much water

raise the pot above the ground so any water collection can dropped down to prevent root rot.

I use pothos. Actually it is the only plant I have placed in my cage. Today I want to go look for a schefflera to see if that will go well in my enclosure. I have a 2 month old veiled and is in dire need of some additional plants.

is there a plant that you could keep in your enclousure.. during winter months etc? and it not die

Ive had both ficus, schifflera (sp?) AND hibiscus all at one point or another... and ive deffinitely had more luck with the ficus, as far as staying alive and providing a good climbing medium for my guy... All the schiffleras ive had have died within a few omnths (sometimes more sometimes less...) and while i find that they work really well for babies and such (theyre perfect diameters and leaf size the babies blend right in!) im not so much a fan when the chams are bigger. As for Hibiscus, i had one a while ago that in a metter of months got eaten down to bare branches, but i also have another one now that Jack hasnt been bothering...
Normally i will have two of the three species in a cage at any one time, and have started switching out when they start to look a little worse for wear, so teh plant has some time to recoup

with my ficus, i might pick up a few leaves every couple of days, usually not more then about 3 a week.

hope im not over watering it, just making sure the soil is moist.


and i picked up two nice lookin sheff plants today.
