Thank you! Is there a specific soil I should be using? I’d like to replant the Pothos but need to make sure I’m not using harmful planting mix. I also need to cover up the soil with some rocks. I’ll check out my local nursery for these plants! Thanks again!
Most people say "organic potting soil"... but I just use regular old top soil/sand mix. The mix of sand helps with drainage. If for some reason you're still getting too much water you can use the clay balls. Hibiscus can withstand a LOT of water... but mostly the need light. Worst case scenario you can use the dome fixture from your cham kit and put grow bulbs in it to help... or LEDs, etc.
Hey there! Thank you! I added in a Dracaena (spelling?) It’s been a humbling adventure that’s for sure. I went and looked at my original post yesterday just to see the responses to the form and if there’s something I haven’t improved. I feel like I should do another one just to keep things current. My fogger just arrived and now I’m looking to upgrade my lighting. Thanks for the follow and plant suggestion!
That’s sort of my problem haha I can’t just leave the cage alone. I’m never happy and constantly tweaking something to make it better.
Are you working on drip tray options? Your going to want that or you will be dealing with water leakage on your furniture. Looking good. I really prefer the wider format in caging.
I’m very happy you asked. I’m struggling with humidity and drainage. I’m thinking about putting up coroplast sheets on three sides of the enclosure to help keep the water contained and help raise my humidity levels. But then the drainage. I was thinking of running hoses from the plants to a smaller drainage bucket. Ideally I set up the enclosure somewhere else in my house where I can run drainage directly below from the tray to a bucket. I really like the wide format and it works better for my available space.
Nope he is in this larger one. And yes! I try not to adjust his layout or mess with him. I’m more trying to upgrade around the enclosure.
So look through this thread for ideas. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/drainage-systems-for-cages-get-creative.102038/ I have seen where people have build a pan so to speak from wood and used flex seal to make it water proof.
Your welcome hun. There may be others on amazon that are free shipping for prime. I like the Duck brand though. I will say my home store was twice the cost of amazon.
I gotcha, I’ll price compare and see what makes sense. Is the dripper tray what you meant for drainage or did you mean a dripper as a water source?Your welcome hun.

Dripper tray... You will need something. Your paper towel method will get old. Not to mention the cost involved of adding new everyday. Dripper as a water source is up to you. I do have an automated one and it drips on his pothos down to other plants. I kept a dripper even though I have a mister and fog at night because my boy has always drank from one. So I decided not to do away with it.
