Flourish Fertilizer--Chameleon Safe?

Is anyone using Flourish organic plant fertilizer (not the aquarium product--this is different despite the name)? The ingredients and composition look extremely safe to me, and it's made from corn and fermented fish byproducts. Would there be any specific concerns about using this in my enclosure? Is there something different that is a better choice? The company says it's non-toxic and "safe for pets," though I doubt they had reptiles in mind. Ghann makes an organic fertilizer out of cricket poop, so I considered that as an option as well. Thanks very much in advance! Here's a photo of the label.

Looks interesting and this fertilizer has got some nitrogen. I would give that a go and have a look how your plants respond. I would not fertilize plants inside and enclosure. I would fertilizer the plants outside your chameleons enclosure then put the plants inside the enclosure long after they are fertilized. My guidance.

Thank you for that advice. I will say that the plants are thriving, and I can't say whether it's entirely related to the fertilizer, but there is new growth on every plant, and the polka dot plant even started blooming (which isn't great for it--I had to nip that in the bud, so to speak).

Unrelated, apparently the smell is very attractive to dogs--my dog chewed up the cap of the first bottle and spilled it all over my rug. She was perfectly fine, just made a mess. She also chewed up my calcium bottle, so everything even marginally food adjacent is now out of reach.
