I've used Ficus and Hibiscus. Both I find hard to keep from getting the leaves falling off. I'm going to give the Schefflera a try and see what happens.

Both ficus and Hibiscus like bright light and regular moistning of the soil, without ever saturating it. Shefflera needs not the bright light, but requires plenty of watering or misting.

Shefflera is the way to go. It grows very nicely, has many perches and branches for the chams. They can eat it with no problems. I use it in all my cages.

I voted for pothos, I like being able to hang the vines all over the cage to connect other plants. I also like crotons for color. I have killed at least 4 umbrella plants so far :/ Another favorite of mine is ferns- they hold tons of little water droplets!

I like Ficus and Hibiscus. However I think I'm the only one who will be voting for Hibiscus as it has nice thick woody branches for the chams to hang on to and they seem to love to eat the leaves / flowers which probably is very healthy for them.
I recently got a HUGE Hibiscus bush, trimmed it and split it into 2 pots. While both halves have lost many of their leaves they are both getting new shoots. I probably haven't had them in there long enough to have problems like other people have. Time will tell but for the moment that's my favorite. I recently got some Pothos, Dracaena and Croton. Only the dracaena went in a small cham enclosure. The other two went to my crested gecko enclosure. However the croton is very colourful and would look great in a cham enclosure. I also purchased a small Schefflera (Umbrella Plant right?) for $1.99 from Wal-Mart that's only about 8" tall. I figured that I'd let it grow a bit before I put it in one of the enclosures. And now I can't wait for it to get larger after seeing everybody's responses here!! ![]() Dyesub Dave.

i do like hibiscus too..

They are pretty but I didn't know that they could go good with a Chameleon
