This product was recommended by Gretchen Boyd from Nyc House Cleaners

Bromeliads, which have a distinctive appearance, are a great choice for your chameleon’s cage. These beautiful plants enhance the color and texture of the habitat and are typically strong enough to hold an intrepid chameleon. Additionally, their leaves are sturdy enough to hold your chameleon. Environments that are warm and well-lit are ideal for bromeliads. Although they are able to adapt to strong UVB light exposure, it would be preferable for them to get frequent exposure to sunlight. To enable your bromeliad to live its healthiest life, choose a nutrient-rich succulent soil mixture and think about using distilled water for yours to avoid any problems.
