Plants I picked up for baby veiled, a few questions!

[Chellia]

I have a couple of questions. I will be purchasing a baby (2 months~) veiled from FLchams in a few weeks/month. I have been researching chams for years, and I feel like I am finally ready to take this on.

Either way, I went plant shopping today (I love shopping for plants!) and I think it's very important (obviously) to have as many live plants as possible for my cham.

I will be purchasing a smaller (16x16x30) reptibreeze for the baby and I picked up a nice dracaena (has two plants in one pot!), pothos, and spider plant (quite large and mature). I will be washing and re potting way before I get the baby.

Should I also add a hibiscus or umbrella plant, or do you think these three plants would take up enough space in my smaller enclosure? I could wait to get the hibiscus or umbrella a bit later when I upgrade my enclosure.

I will also have TONS of fake vines and crab apple/willow branches from outside (that will be cleaned and disinfected beforehand) in the enclosure.

What do you think? I'm super excited, and finally have the courage to stop lurking the forum (which I have been actively doing since '09).

Thanks guys!

Sounds like ur on the correct path.. Post some pictures when u get ur enclosure complete..

I sure will! I have big big plans Would you suggest grabbing a hibiscus or umbrella plant as well? Or would that be too much going in in the smaller cage?

I would grabb a umbrella plant? U should repot them in orgainic soil nd when u do so u can adjust the plants for ur enclosure? I have pothos on the bottom of my plants nd their slowly growing upwards around vines nd branches?

That sounds great. Down the road from me is a fantastic organic nursery that I can pick some soil up. I was planning on re-potting before I ordered the cham anyway

I'll grab an umbrella plant next time I am at Home Depot.
