Best plants

[kirstxblue]

Calvin's new home finally arrived! Just need to know what plants are best to use in it???
We're in the uk, just in case that makes any difference!!
Also, where's the best place to put a Layin bin, on the floor or in the plant pot or maybe make a shelf type thing near the bottom?

Thanks in advance

What kind of Cham is it? I've got a veiled and I use pothos, hibiscus, dwarf umbrella tree and a ficus, all safe for them if eaten and got great climbing branches as for a lay bin I wouldn't know,

Hi I'm in uk to, all the plants stated above are great, though I had problems with the hibiscus, kept dying, the umbrella is a nice big strong plant aswell as the ficus, whereas the pothos is more of a vine really good for tying around ur cage for climbing. Their my suggestions.

I have also just bought a new cage for my Cham Keith, was just wondering where u got urs?? Just I found it hard to get a nice aluminium cage... Got one now though came yesterday and it's awesome.

Don't want to comment on laying areas, mines is male so I haven't looked into it...

Cheers Aaron

You will need live plants for your cage to help keep up the humidity. I really like the Pothos it seems to hold the water for a long time and also does quite well inside. The Ficus and Schefflera also do great indoors. The Hibiscus is a favorite of the veileds but needs allot of light so your need to use hibiscus outside or have a couple to rotate from inside to outside for sun. Your plants will need to be washed and rinsed well and replanted before you use them. Use organic soil and buy large river rocks to cover the soil so your cham will not be able to get to the soil. Make sure the rocks are very large so the cham cannot eat the rocks.

I took this info from my blog on general care. You might fine my blog helpful so I'm attaching it for you below. Jann
