flowers...

Hi everyone..
Ive been looking around safe plants lists for some flowers...
I just want to add some color to my chams cage...
There are some flowers listed up in flchams safe plant list, but as far as I know, they need a lot of sun and not too much water...
My chams cage is next to an open window but still, I dont think theres enough for a healthy plant...

Anyone knows about a good flowering plant that would make it in there?

thanks a lot =)

not really. Flowering plants need lots of sunshine, therefore they do not do well in the enclosures with the little amount of uvb our lights put out. Most people use the 6500k grow lights to help with their plants in addition to the other lights used. I know hibiscus are cham safe and are very pretty when they bloom. I do not know how well they do with the grow lights though.

u could try kalanchoe longiflora, it's a succulent that doesn't require direct light.

We have a Camelia plant in Milly's cage. It blooms pink flowers every other day. Has not shown any signs of dying. very pretty actually. Here is a picture of one flower bloomed and others starting to bloom.
