Hey I'm just curious what all the out of the norm plants you have in your cham's cage? Pictures are appreciated ;) haha
 
I had a Baobab Tree in the greenhouse for about a year that is a plant that is not seen much. Then there is the Brazilian Candles that I have got growing now in the greenhouse now that is allegedly quite rare to see in plant collections.

I'm growing a few various orchid species and a bunch of nepenthes (hard plants)

bromeliads and tillandsias are all over my house too (easy plants)
 
Yeah I have a bunch of pitcher plants in grow out one I spent $90 on can wait for then to get big enough to agg to the cage
 
Well I can't wait to get it
Come on I know you guys have some out of the ordinary stuff in your cages share it up ;)
 
I've been looking for info too on what rarer plants chameleon keepers are interested in, since I've been getting requests for some cham safe plants that aren't the standard Ficus or Schefflera (I propagate rare plants for mostly dart frog tanks currently, though at shows I do get customers looking for plants for arboreal snake tanks and tarantula cages). I'm in the process of moving now, and just bought two new greenhouses, which means the 240 sq. shade house will be left for just the bromeliads and whatever else I decide to throw in there. Does anyone have any suggestions for what rare plants they'd like to find more easily available?
 
I have no idea what this is. Got a start a few years ago from a lady that bought the original plant back in the 60's. Personally have not seen anything like it at any nurseries around here. I can only wish this plant will do as well as hers. Probably the most unique vine plant i have ever set eyes on. The vines grow giant U's and circles with a single leaf here and there.

I may have done some damage, left it out in the cold last night and it is showing some brown now :(
