Well, I was recommended to use this plant list by cloudjungle.com
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET MOST OF THESE FROM LOWES OR A LOCAL GARDEN CENTER.
---Fittonia - A nice low grower that loves low light. Also comes in a pink and green and white and green color.
---Small growing Begonia such as Begonia luzonensis, raja, buttercup or prizmatocarpa.
---Peperomias of all kinds. There are some that grow low or some upright. These are excellent plants for the Terrarium
---Ficus primula - Will quickly cover the back portion of the terrarium.
---Neoregelia Bromeliad which is a must for many pumilio Dart frogs to reproduce
---Many Gesneriads such as Goldfish Plants (Nematanthus and Columneas) and Lipstick plants (Aeschynanthus) These are epiphytes and will ramble around the vivarium.
---Episcias are also a good choice for color but can grow very quickly
---Selaginellas do very well in a terrarium and will stay compact and low if given good light. Make sure to pick a species such as kraussiana.
---Ferns such as Nephrolepis Suzi Wong does very well in the terrarium
---Cissus amazonica is a good creeper and grows well in many light conditions
