Epipremnum aureum
General
Epipremnum aureum is a very popular plant often found in hanging baskets or growing as a climbing ivy. Commonly referred to as pothos, this plant and its heart shaped leaves are a favorite among many chameleon owners. Pothos is a hardy plant and can thrive under artificial conditions.
Light and Heat
Pothos prefer bright filtered light, and can do very well indoors (1/3). This plant does best between 60F and 85F.
Water and Humidity
Pothos is a tropical plant that can benefit from a high humidity. Its watering requirements can vary; if the plant is potted, water when the topsoil is dry (1/3).
Toxicity and Irritants
This plant is high in oxalates and can be somewhat toxic when eaten in large quantities. If a chameleon is eating this plant frequently, removal of the plant should be considered.
