See I'm the type who gets paranoid with fake flowers/vines getting dirty. I have fake vines (silk) lining the walls of my cages and around the branches. The vines have leaves that come off (not easily). So I take the dirty ones off and scrub them really well a few times. Eventually I throw them away and add new ones because I'm paranoid that they aren't clean enough after a few cleanings. I removed most of the leaves in the areas where the chams seem to go to the bathroom the most. If there are any that are really filthy, I don't even bother washing them and just remove them or replace them.
You'll probably be fine, just replace any exceptionally dirty plants that you don't think you can clean well enough. I get mine from the craft store. They're really cheap and you get quite a bit of vines. I also found some flowers there that were like a plastic/rubbery material. I have them in Kami's cage. I figured they would be easier to clean, but of course she's never pooped on them, only on the vines lol.

What a very lovely habitat. I am in awe. I use silk vines and have no problems. As others have stated, "do watch the dyes", as quality of production varies radically in the $ stores. I keep mine sanitized by removing them for cleaning and sterilizing with boiling water as needed. It is good to get a routine so you can stay on top of any potential bacterial build up. She looks loved.

if thats her looking exceptionally well than i dont want to imagine how she looks ona bad day
And with all that flora in her way can she find her food and is feeding an issue?
I believe Molly is currently blind and being fed directly by hand so she doesn't have to find anything. Molly is much improved since coming into justjumpit's care.

I know what you mean
like Elizadolots said she is currently blind so I am hand feeding her. Here is a picture of her on a bad day just to show the comparison. https://www.chameleonforums.com/species-29682/Also, all the flora is actually a good thing, she can't see where she is going and frequently falls so with all of the new stuff she is less likely to fall on the ground and more likely to fall on a soft flower.

When i had Bradypodions that i caught in the Cape i put them on pt plants with tons of flowers which helped attract insects and i never had to feed them
Thank you =) Molly really seems to like it too.
