A plant nursery? You're gonna have to search for one on your own... I dont live in canada, let alone your area.

I found a two foot dwarf umbrella at home depot ofr ten bucks about a month - month and a half ago. It's probably grown about a half a foot in some areas since then. I also saw some ficus like that at HD, but a nursery might have more to choose from.

can i email you from my phone when i am at home depot....??/? ill take a picture with my phone and send u the pic to tell me if i have the right tree.

ok?

Plus some chams like to eat the flowers on a hibiscus.

My female veiled Caddie has eaten almost two entire hibiscus plants... and yes, she eats the flowers as well.

You will know it is the right schef because the leaves will be smaller. everything about the plant should look the same as you the one you have..... except smaller and the leaves won't be glossy.

where can i find a hibicus plant?????

Bring these pictures in and say you want one of these but bigger. Or you can just check the little plant tag that they usually have.

 

[withlime]

this is the safe schefflera. you want this small size of leaves.

if you feel that you absolutely need something with large leaves to fill up a cage, i suggest a pothos.

you can always combine plants as well. save pictures to your phone so that you can reference them at the garden store.

 

[summoner12]

what do you mean....

Read what I wrote again...... the two plants look the same.... except the one you WANT will have smaller leaves than the one you have in the cage.

Look at photos posted... notice the size difference in the leaves?

 

[Chamster]

thanks for all the help guys ......you are really helpful.

i think im just going to buy a hibiscus with the red flowers......

i think im just going to buy a hibiscus with the red flowers......

The issue with Hibiscus is that they need lots of light....

You never got back to us on the type of UVB lamp you are using. I suggest you go out and buy a dual 24" linear fluorescent fixture at HD. It needs to be for 24" T8 lamps. While you are there buy a 6500K color temperature linear tube lamp (24" as well). when you get home fit that lamp and a 24" Zoo Med Reptisun into the fixture. This should be enough light for your cage.... Also use a basking lamp of course.

 

[Chamster]

ok.......i have the cage right in front of the window so i think its ok for the hibiscus.....

 

[summoner12]

If all you have is a UVB and heat lamp it won't be enough......

 

[Chamster]

i got a uvb and a basking lamp.........why isnt that enough?? what else do i need besides that....

 

[pssh]

A strong plant light. Hibiscus are a high light loving plant and don't usually do well without real sun light or a plant light.

 

[Chamster]

ok what about the dwarf umbrella

 

[summoner12]

ok what about the dwarf umbrella

that is a low light plant... doesn't need a ton of light to do well. if you are by a window you are fine.


Can you please do me a favor and READ the ENTIRE post by me and or anyone replying to your questions?!? you are asking questions that have already been answered.

 

[Chamster]

alright....ma bad... looks like its gonna be umbrella for me....

 

[Chamster]

i went to HD and returned the plant....but they did not have any of the plants that you told me about.... so i went to rona and found the ficus plant....so i got it but it was a little too big for my cage so i started cutting down......while i was cutting down i noticed this white stuff coming out of the vines.......is that safe for the cham?????
