well an iguana will quickly devour any plant you put in there. If you don't mind this you can try hibiscus, just make sure to properly wash the plant if the nursery you get it from adds pesticides (most of them do). soak the leaves in a soapy water solution then rinse them thoroughly, then allow them to dry.

I put a ficus tree in my cage and my igg ate some leaves and he is still alive. Make sure to feed them really well otherwise they will eat the plant to nothing except limbs and twigs.

Don't allow an iguana to eat ficus. I have seen many wild iguanas down here dead because of too much of the tree milk. I recommend Hibicus plants however, just be sure to wash thoroughly. The iguanas can also enjoy the hibicus flowers too (if the plant lasts that long, lol).
