Most all plants are safe to use with dart frogs. They don't eat plants. But not all plants will grow under tropical conditions. Trees of any sort really grow too big to use in a vivarium, and Ohio trees are not tropical, which a dart frog vivarium is. You can rarely grow a plant from a temperate zone that has seasonal requirements of cold spells and rest under tropical conditions. I would certainly not think "trees," but more miniature versions of plant life.

We are squashing down many square meters and kilometers of rain forest space into relatively small cubes, measured in mere feet or even inches, when we raise our dart frogs. We create a pretenderlike Oz that works to sustain these animals in far less space than they came from. Usually what we have to work with will not sustain a tree.

I hope I've understood your question.
