Favorite indoor plant for chameleons

[eppcheck]

I've only gone with the Umcbrella Tree. The branches are nicely spaced and perfect for my chams. The ficus seems to thick and bushy for my taste...

Haven't tried anything else tho

Is Swedish Ivy the only Ivy that is safe?

 

[DGray]

"ivy"

Is Swedish Ivy the only Ivy that is safe?

"Swedish Ivy" is _Plectranthus australis_ and is in the same family as mint and coleus. Several species are used as a ornamental houseplants. One type is called Cuban Oregano and is used as an herb.

Lots of vining or trailing plants are called "ivies"; in some places pothos (_Epipremium aureum_) is called devil's ivy. Its safe, of course.

Ivy usually refers to English Ivy: _Hedera helix_ and is in the same family as Aralias, and incidentally, so is the dwarf schefflera. Lots of poisonous members in this family. Hedera species probably should not be in or near animal habitats.

The best genus, Asparagus, is missing...

The best genus, Asparagus, is missing...

I wish we could get Asparagus falcatus around here (or at least around me if it is in the US), though I don't think it's available due to being a pest where it has been introduced. I use sprengeri sometimes but most available species seem too fragile for even the larger small species.

Pocket loves his ficus, so that works for me

We've been using schefflerra with no problems until we started a misting system. Now all it does is lose leaves! I'm thinking it's because when we hand misted the cages they were getting watered but now with the mist system, the base of the plant never gets water. Does that seem to make sense to anyone?

 

[foilempire]

I use Ficus, Pothos and Dracena pleomele

where do you find jasmine???? ive been looking at so many places and cant find it!

 

[KClark]

i've been using the jasmine trees (which is different from the jasmine plant) for 2 years now. when trimmed there is no milky white sap, and in my 2-4 foot trees there is no fruit. the only tree i get the berries on is my 6 foot tall 6 year old tree. the berries are like a hard nut, not like a black berry.
i have been using the jasmines with my jackson chameleons (i have 6 now)
i have 2 veileds that do not eat plants, nothing i have given them. i have never seen them eat pothos, ficus, hibiscus, etc. i don't know why?
here is a picture of a few of my enclosures, btw is that pressure treated wood your using for your enclosures "snail tail"?

where do you buy jasmine????

Schefflera are awesome. However, anything less than a 2-3 foot plant is completly useless to me. They just don't do that well as opposed to the already well established plants.

However, I can never find schefflera plants that have a good start on them. Only 10-12 inch single stems. There is one oin the office here that I really want to steal though... well see if I do.

LOL... I told that to my boss, about a schefflera in the lobby, next morning I didn't see the plant. Later on that week I seen it in his office behind his desk....

ficus sheds like a mother

ok so what if my veiled chameloen ate a hedera ivy or glacier hedera ivy? will it need to go to the vet.. i just thought it was safe because of a pic i seen with the same plant in the enclosure.

 

[ladyapplegate]

I like pothos simply because you can put the vines where you want them. I haven't brought in the schefflera yet. The side of my yard is full of schleffera plants, 8+ feet tall.

 

[Tandra Lee]

i use sheffelra,pothos and also jasmine,i agree jasmine spells wonderful ! if trimmed it will flower alot..my cham only craps on it but it smells heavenly (not the crap,the flowering plant lol)

 

[marco]

My favorites are definately the Schefflera and the pothos, as they are very easy to take care of

 

[budd]
