How big is your frog? 5 gallons is really too small for a tree frog (even my bumble bee waking toads are housed in a 10 gallon enclosure, and they are only the size of a penny.
Regardless of overall size tree frogs need vertical space to climb, in a 5 gallon terrarium the frog barely has room for one hop before he bumps into something.
If there are any legitimate pet stores in your area (not petco or petsmart) they will probably sell live plants.
Before you go spending money on plants or a water fall I would put it toward a new terrarium. I know it can get expensive but it is important to have a proper place for your tree frog to live, or you will not have much success, and its not fair to the frog.
To put things in perspective, my adult Whites Tree Frog came from Petco and I paid $20 for him. All in all I have spent a little over $300 on his enclosure. I'm not saying that you have to spend $300 to have a decent enclosure, but $100 sounds more like it.
If your frog does not make it I would make sure that you spend the time and the money to build a decent setup before you get another frog.
