Actually, UVB is bad for plants, but good for dragons. There are plant bulbs you can buy for the plants...but plants in with a bearded dragon have a short life expectancy anyway.

Ten minutes of real sun (without the obstructions of glass which filters out UVB) outdoes spending all day under the most expensive UVB bulb.

I wouldn't put plants in with a beardie-you know the beardie is going to eat them, or destroy them or injuring himself by trying to climb on them.
