...she is determined to so I put small river stones on them all temporarily but will do screen/netting this weekend as she still shoots the rocks! I tried moss at Sonia's suggestion but she ate that, too!



As for the mold it also can be airborne (the spores) so it really does need to be controlled. If you have house plants only because you keep chams and not because you love plants then I do recommend the netting or screen so you don't have to worry about the condition of the plant as much. One reason why pothos are so great for cham keepers is that they will take a lot of neglect and abuse. Better to under water than over water. More houseplants die from excess rather than too little water.



One more planting tip: use clay rather than plastic pots b/c they are porous and are more forgiving if you over water. A plastic pot holds that moisture in and can rot roots, support fungus gnat life cycles and, as you just experienced, grow mold.
