Hi All

The plants in my Four Horned tanks are looking a bit sad and pathetic now and need to be replaced. I currently have a couple of weeping figs and yukka's.

Before I go ahead and put more weeping figs in I wondered if there were more suitable plants for a very humid, wet environment. The chameleons have shown no interest at all in eating plants.

In the wild the four horns live through hundreds of inches of rainfall a year.

Kind regards

Lee

Laughing MJ, Paul, him I get called many a name Laughing

I dont know about chams eating plants so this is just an idea.

Try:

Pothos (devils ivy) it can take a huge range of temps. lighting. humidity practically indistructable Cool

If you're trying to get a mossy look get some Java moss its aquatic but will convert to terrestrial if given enough moisture.

Creeping fig (ficus pumilia) would work also aslong as its feet aren't constantly wet.
