Orchid?

Hi,
How safe are Orchids for Chameleon enclosures? I am planting a few new large cages and found some large Orchids that would look wonderful.
Thanks,
Jason

orchids arent toxic, this thread lists a number of good choices https://www.chameleonforums.com/reasons-why-real-chams-need-real-plants-115143/

thats a killer thread! really informative..i read that orchids are very specific.. so youd have to know the type of orchid it is. another factor would be the type of chameleon so is it to just crawl on or safe to eat? and youd have to find an orchid that would live in your cage set up because they can be very different in care from one type to another...too much of a headache for me lol theres a ton a nice plants that are on the safe lists for me to pick from..i think im the only one (at least that ive seen mention) using camellia's i am trying a purple passion for my females cage..they grow pretty good and would kinda spread across the bottom of the cage pretty nice (at least in my head thats how i see it lol) oh and grapes vines!
