The conehead (Laemanctus Longipes) is an omnivore, consuming mass quantities of different types of food. Plants require approximately the same temperature and relative humidity factors as the tropical lizards that might share the environment. Two plants that require full sun are Coleus (flame nettle) and Musa (banana). Banana plants are attractive and appropriate when small, but if properly cared for these plants might outgrow the habitat.
Plants that are suitable for use in tropical lizard environments usually are cultivated for their lush foliage. Genera that require abundant indirect sunlight include Alloplectus, Alocasia, Caladium (angel’s wings), Calathea, Ctenanthe, Maranta (prayer plant), and Pellonia.
The pineapple plant (Ananas) can be grown from the fruit. The top section of the fruit, which contains the leaves, should be removed and potted after the bit of fruit remaining at the bottom of the cutting has dried for several days. The avocado (Persea) can be germinated in water. To do this, insert several toothpicks into the pit, place the pit in a glass or jar, and add water. The toothpicks are used to suspend the pit from the top of the container.
