Try different 'materials' under (or around) the plant. Chicken wire - - many animals don't like walking on that. Sheet of aluminum (not foil) - - many animals don't like walking on anything slippery. Set plant in middle of a garbage can lid with salt inside of lid - - lizards don't like something that will 'dry' them; salt removes moisture. Boric acid (in Borax) will kill bugs or animals that get into it and licks (or eats) it - - do not use if have pets or small children).

I suppose you checked, but are you sure the lizard is eating the plant, especially orchid leaves? Usually lizards go for bugs.

buy a cat and let it play on the patio with the lizard.

Lizzards don't eat plants. They do eat the bugs (grasshoppers, beetles, etc.) that eat your plants. Don't get rid of it.
