so tommorow im setting up my vield chameleon cage the 24x24x48 what should i get the ficus nd umbreella or pothos nd umbrella :eek::eek:
 
I have had success with a Ficus approx 4' tall (you can trim it). Buy it at Home Depot and they give a 1 year warranty on it.
 
Yeah the ficus does very well indoors, that is what I would recommend also. They give plenty of foliage and keep the humidity up. And I like the way they look versus the umbrella plant.

so i should get the ficus nd a pothos together or ? or a umbrella nd pothos , or nd umbrella nd a ficus together ??
 
I would say Ficus Benjamina and the pothos together. You can run a metal hook through the top of your screen(make sure the other end is on something sturdy not the screen) and you can hand it and have foliage and things to climb on between the two.
 
Yeah that is also a good set up, I just don't like umbrella plants from what I have seen. Maybe I may go look at some tomorrow and change my mind

Went to the florist a few days ago... they got some beautiful umbrellas, the bushy kind. I don't like the ugly twig/stem things... lol.

Up to you man, I think it would be better for foliage with the Ficus but that is just my opinion.

I think that if you want...

Foliage/Climbing: Ficus/Umbrella plant
Foliage/Space consumption: Ficus/Pothos
Climbing/Space consumption: Umbrella plant/Pothos
Space consumption/Foliage: Pothos/Ficus

Hope this helps... I personally have the umbrella plant and pothos :)

I'm a huge fan of pothos plants...you can train the vines so they provide the cage with a load of walking opportunities and they seem to live on water and chameleon poop. Plus, they have nice big leaves your chameleon can hide behind. I know, you might not see the plus side in that, but your chameleon will.
