Try your local B&Q, Homebase or Do-It-All. I know B&Q sell suitable plants for chams in various sizes. Pothos, as already said) is good, but may be labelled Devil's Ivy. Schefflera Arboricolor (Umbrella plant) (beware that the type called Schefflera Actinophylla is toxic to chams), Ficus (Weeping Fig) and Hibiscus are all good. You may not be able to find Hibiscus here until summer though as it tends to be sold as a summery indoor plant. Make sure that you wash the leaves in soapy water and rinse well to remove any pesticide residue and re-pot the plant in organic soil. Also cover the soil with large stones to prevent the chameleon from eating any, either intentionally or accidentally when hunting. I buy bags of large pebbles/stones in net bags from Morrisons. I just wash them well in hot soapy water and rinse before using them to cover the soil.
