Help Planting live plants.

Thank you for the quick replay. I've been leaning towards doing that. One question though. Is a waterfall necessary?

While a waterfall will help keep humidty levels up, it's not necessary. They are more for looks than anything. Start simple, you can always build something more complex as your skills increase.

I started out with my pacman frog keeping the plants in small pots. The problem with this is that you have to either struggle with keeping the pots covered so it looks more natural or you just have pots hanging around that just don't look natural. My plants also got pretty root bound and started dying because of poor drainage. Since your frogs are in a different enclosure right now I strongly suggest going all out before putting them in it. Once they're in there it's going to be a lot more complicated to make improvements with it.

A false bottom is a great idea for a tropical set up. I had a post a while back about different things to do with a false bottom that was immensely helpful. I had someone suggest putting an aquarium heater in the bottom to heat the water which in turn heats the tank with a moist heat. I decided not to do that because I have a white's tree frog and they aren't as sensitive. But this may be a good idea for you. And with a false bottom you can plant your plants directly into the substrate and not worry about uprooting them to change substrate. With proper drainage you would very rarely have to change substrate.

As for plants, I'm not that sure of specific plants but I can tell you what I use. I have pothos and two kinds of dracaena and they absolutely love the humidity. Unless you plan on using a plant bulb or a UV bulb I suggest you find plants that like high humidity and don't require much sunlight. And rather than buying plants specifically for vivariums you can always go to a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot and check out their tropical plant section. I get all my plants from there. Just Make sure to wash the roots and the leaves to get any fertilizer and pesticides off of them. I would love to see pictures when you're done!
