Check and see if you have any local plant nurseries. I have a few in my area and they all have a very wide variety to choose from. You'd also be supporting local businesses!

Potho's often u can get at supermarkets . You will need to clean them and change soil .

I looked at HD and Lowes last week and they all seem to be out of stock, so I'm wondering if it's too late in the season. They had many in the summer.

There are lots of other types of plants that can be used in chameleon enclosures.

I have to special request scheffleras for my local Lowe's hardware. Takes a few weeks for them to get the plants in.

An organic without fertilizer. You should still cover the soil too, with rocks or something.

See how educational cham keeping is? Believe me, you'll grow a green thumb, contribute to the local economy, and learn where to find all sorts of odd things for your spoiled little darling before long. That is a lot of the fun...getting creative finding solutions at your local hardware/home improvement/craft/housewares stores. You can really stump a clerk by explaining the cage problem you are trying to solve.

Yea I think they might be out of season until late winter early spring through summer. That's when I usually see them the most.

I know you already found your plants but wanted to post anyway as I don't have much available locally either. One of the side effects of living in a small town, the local Walmart's selection pretty much consists entirely of little bamboos. We do also have a Home Depot, but their selection isn't much better - more succulents and cactuses than anything else. Plus ours seem to have a real penchant for doing......weird stuff with their plants (hot gluing faux flowers to them, spray painting them crazy colors, its just bizarre) that make me cautious of buying plants there. Then we also have a local greenhouse - they're a great greenhouse but their selection during spring/summer is more focused towards garden and outdoor plants rather than houseplant type plants.

So I took to ordering plants online and I've had great luck, both through nurseries and from eBay. If I'm looking for something in particular eBay is usually one of my first stops.
