Best Plants for Veileds

[MardiMay07]

I am currently in the works of getting a bigger cage and instead of false plants, trying to use live plants because after MUCH research learned they keep humidity better. I have plants all over my house, but I'm sure they're not cham safe.
What are some of the best plants you guys have had experience with? I have a pothos, schefflera, and/or umbrella plant in mind...the only issue I have with the pothos is that is seems to sit really low in a pot and not be 'tree like' for climbing..does it grow fast?

I'd appreciate some input for good climbing plants and maybe where you guys got them?

Thanks!

For veils I only used hibiscus, pothos and umbrella. With much success. They ate the hibiscus flowers and the pothos leaves.

I may have trouble with hibiscus I think because it said they needed a lot of sunlight and being mid July it probably wouldn't thrive in a PA winter I don't think. I feel good about the pothos plant although it seems to sit low in the pot instead of grow 'upwards.' Umbrella plants were told to be toxic if the chams ate too much of them so I'm not sure. What are your thoughts?

I've seen people trail the pothos plants from the top of the cage, down. But what I've done is plant it on the bottom of the cage and took the vines and carefully pinned them going upward throughout the cage so my Veiled can climb on the vines.

The pothos plants do grow really fast.

Awesome, thank you! My thoughts are combining pothos with a schefflera plant. I wasn't too sure on how to hang the pothos from the top of the cage but if I would be able to pin it I think it would work!
