This page has some of the best info on what's okay for beardies. Almost to the bottom of the page is a list of known safe plants. Just remember that whatever you put in there will most likely will be munched on at some point and it's really important to either buy organic or allow 6-12 weeks before placing in your Viv.

Honestly it's safer and cleaner to use the plastic type plants made for reptile enclosures... though not as aesthetically pleasing.

Watch your humidity VERY closely with a live plant.

the humidity is not a problem i have a big waterfall in there and the humidity is 10% so its ok and i have plastic plants and then look rubbish.

Are you sure your humidity reading is correct? I have a hard time believing that with a waterfall you only have 10% humidity.

belive what you want but right next to the waterfall the temp is 86 and the humi is 10% and im usein humi tester a pro one. So its defo right

That humidity would be correct if they are ina desert area, like I am. My accurite thermometer's humidity reads "lo" most of the time, which is under 20%. It only gets higher in the monsoon season which we are entering now. Then we get anywhere from 35% to 51%. The 51% is very rare and was seen (as I remember) only the year before last.

when i take it out i leave it out for an hour or 2 and it goes up to 38 ish. when i put it back in it always goes back to 10%.
