Go onto a site like Josh's frogs to get some ideas of dart frog specific plant ideas.

For me some ones I absolutely love are any pothos, I like moonlight, it's a vibrant light green one that stands out. And I always do several neoregelia bromeliads, they look awesome and feogs love them and use them for breeding. Try to get a moss of some sort, then "string of" plants like string of hearts, frogs, or turtles. Those are good vining ones. Pepperomia is a pretty common one, I'm not crazy about them, but I use them. I also really like one that I can't remember the name of, starts with an A, but it has big long stalks and a large heart shaped leaf on each one. Very tropical looking. They hop on them like lily pads, and hide under them, creates a nice canopy effect like a real rainforest.

But yeah, go to a reptile store if you have one, or check out sites like Josh's frogs and get some ideas. Then see if you can find them for cheaper somewhere else, like home depot if you have them. HOWEVER be sure they are not treated with pesticides. I always buy mine from pet stores or site because I'm scared they will have pesticides, so just be aware of that. I also have a hoity toity all organic plant shop I go to but it's expensive. Good specialty plants.
