So I'm getting an enclosure set up for a Jackson's Chameleon, and I have some questions about plant lights. The cage is a dragon strand 24"x24"x48", and before I get my chameleon I will have a good deal of branches and vines (probably a combination of live and artificial pathos). The lights I have on there now area 60w incandescent for heat, and a zoomed reptisun 24" HO T5 5.0 for UVB. There is not a window in this room, so I am a bit concerned about the plant growth with just these lights. I got a dwarf umbrella tree and ficus benjamina which sit on the floor of the cage. My question is: will these lights be enough to keep these plants healthy, should I buy some sort of grow light (if so what type/wattage), and would that grow light have any negative effect on my Jackson's health? If it matters, I intend to be getting a young adult from FLChams.
