for an adult, I think the majority of opinions is 2'x2'x4' or bigger. I'm all about bigger enclosures. lol. I'm starting to make one thats 3.5'x6'x2'. My veiled's gonna love the hell out of it! lol. As for plants, I only use real ones. I don't like fake plastic or silk. They look tacky to me and get get ruined. I tried some of the Exo-Terra plants and my veiled tried eating it and they shredded, so I tossed it within a few weeks. Plus not only do real plants just look better, they help keep the humidity up in the enclosure, easier to clean and your veiled can snack on them. My veiled loves pothos and shefflera plants like you would not believe.
