Good plants for setups?

Welcome to the forums. What kind of Chameleon do you have? 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.

If you are interested in a veiled or panther I have a blog for new keepers that will tell you what all you need with links to pictures of each item and where you can buy it. Most local pet stores do not carry the supplies that you will need for a chameleon. My blog is attached below.

Schefflera is always a good choice. That's what I use anyways.

ayes, shefflera and pothos are awesome, and for height we use dracenas, they're pretty sturdy trunked and come in a wide variety of colors. If you get really creative, you can hang the pothos and twine it's 'vines'/trailers around the tank and to other plants, smaller chams can easily use them as walkways. Pothos also make excellent drip catchers, they're super hard to kill by overwatering.

Have fun with setting up a tank and getting a new cham, and welcome to the forums where there are a ton of people almost always able and willing to help out
