Long story short: I don't have a cham yet but I'm still working on setting up the enclosure and I need one more plant.
Long story long: I've already killed a hibiscus (although further inspection showed that the plant appeared to have no root system so it may not have been my fault) and a schefflera arboricola (I think the light wasn't bright enough for this one). I currently have a golden pothos which is growing wonderfully and seems to be indestructible. After looking at safe plant lists and reading of people's experiences with this plant, I also bought a parlor palm for $5 (I love amazon.com) and it is basically a mini palm tree version of the pothos - indestructible.
Now I just need one last plant to fill up the enclosure. I'm looking for a small tree or tree-like plant that can do well in somewhat low lighting conditions (and is of course safe for chams). I may just get another parlor palm because it's so awesome, but I want something a little more branchy. Some plants I have in mind are Norfolk Island pines, ficus, and maybe scheffleras (but I would have to get some plant lights first).
Any ideas or suggestions on what plant I should get? Anyone have experience with Norfolk Island pines? I haven't heard much about them.
