ficus question

[NYChameleon]

I just got my ficus delivered in the mail today. I had to trim it a little cause it was too big for my cage. Is it ok to trim them? I know nothing about plants. So im guessing all i have to do is make sure its watered enough and it should be fine since its got the uvb in the cage with it?? And the regular tank misting and showers should supply it with enough water? Any suggestions will be helpfull. Thanks

yes it is okay to trim them.
but leave them out of your chameleon's reach for at least 24 hours after trimming.
Ficus released milky sap that can irritates the eyes of your chameleon when trimmed or broke.

And unless water is landing on it from the mister, you should water it once a week still. Personally I like it when th miister isn't watering the plants so they can dry out and only get watered when I want them to be
