Wandering Jew Plant?

[Tyaeda]

I love the purple leaves on this kind of vine. I was wondering if anyone has tried these in there cham's enclosure, and whether or not you had any success? Pros and cons?

All I know is that it's safe and can be a very hardy plant, never tried it though.

They are a bit fragile and not the best for supporting the chameleons weight, but they are very nice looking plants.

I didn't have any luck with it but I just bought a Swedish ivy
The underside is purple, the vine is beefy and I'm told it's very hardy and invasive

I love the look of them, and was going to get some as a decorative thing / hiding spot for Mr.Pink's enclosure. Swedish Ivy looks really cool too. If I see some for sale this spring I'll definitely be getting some.

I can't until winter is over - I hate not being able to plant shop

Funny you posted this thread. Over a week ago I ran into the Wandering Jew plant at Home Depot. Though it didn't have the purple leaves like it showed in the picture but it did have a lot of small green leaves and lots of hanging vines (kind of short vines though!). I was about to purchase it for $10 but decided on just getting a pothos since the vines did seem pretty fragile. So I didn't get one.

I also saw an Ivy looking plant with the longest vines. The vines were growing all through the other pots surrounding it! It took me a little while to get the vines unraveled. Sadly, a lot of plants at Home Depot don't display what the plant is actually called, it'll sometimes say "variety" or some other wording.. It would have been a nice plant to have if I knew that it wasn't poisonous. :\

Are there Home Depots in Canada? Maybe there is a plant shop around you that is still open? (If that's what you mean by waiting till winter is over) I was surprised to find a huge garden shop with a heated greenhouse filled with plants open a couple weeks ago. You'd figure they would all close till spring. I was hoping to find baby tears but the owner of the shop said that the shipment he received of baby tears didn't survive.

I'm going to try to look for that Swedish Ivy, looks like a really nice plant. I'm addicted to buying plants for my chameleon o_o!
