I guess I am breaking many rules. I have 7 whites tree frogs in about a ?50-60 gallon front opening vivarium. It's an old Hagen tank. I do not have a false bottom. Instead I have a shallow layer of plantation soil that I remove and replace every few months (lots of waste with so many frogs), magnolia leaves and a cork background with shelves siliconed on. I have a large bromeliad (without the spiky sharp leaves) and a fully grown birds nest fern each potted in plantation soil--one in a pot and the other in a cork tube. This allows me to pull the plants out when I change the dirt without much trouble. also a few fake plants in there. Anyway, these plants and my frogs have fared well for one year now, and the vivarium is still beautiful and stably humid with the real plants. Everything I read recommended fake plants with Whites because they would kill live ones with their weight and activity, but these plants are doing great. Hope this helps.
