Dragon ledges make setting up an enclosure so much easier, as well as adding ability to hang plants. https://dragonstrand.com/dragon-ledges/
All live plants are always best and you’ll want to create some shaded areas with them. Here’s the safe plant list. https://chameleonacademy.com/plants/ I use primarily branches from outside that I’ve washed with Dawn, rinsed well and let dry in the sun. Here’s one of my enclosures.

If you want your cage to look like a slice of paradise, aim for implementing real branches which almost always look better than fake branches.Though I still have some fake vines near the front of the cage that I used when my dude used to screen crawl.
You almost can never add too many live plants in your cage as long as there are still branches to move around on. Here is my cage.
Adding dragon ledges will definitely make your cage look more professional and make your life easier (though I don't use them personally). Still, you can make a pretty decent cage without dragon ledges--you can hang plants such as pothos or bromeliads by wrapping wire around the top aluminum frame and then threading through to the outside of the cage, then thread it back to the inside where you want to hang the plant. (Look at the pictures below). It's essential to have the majority of the wire outside the cage because I had an instance where a cricket was climbing around at the top of the cage and was directly behind the wire. My cham shot at the cricket and ended up shooting the wire. Luckily, my cham's tongue didn't get injured. I immediately cut down the wire and had it run along the outside.
I also have a bromeliad in my cage that is doing fantastic, but you can't see it from the front since there is a "wall" of plants that block the view of the back. This is where my cham can go to hide if he feels the need.

If you're at all handy, save yourself some money, improve the structure of the Reptibreeze, and skip the dragon ledges.
Go to a home improvement store and pick up some aluminum stock—bar, angle, or channel (whichever you prefer) and some stainless sheet metal screws (#8 x twice the thickness of the aluminum).
Cut the aluminum to fit inside the frame, drill a hole at each end, and attach with sheet metal screws.
