Default leaf litter or pillow moss

I made a terrarium around a year ago but I didnt know what to put in it. So I'm here now and last sunady I ordered a pair of Phyllobates vittatus that will be arriving tuesday of next week. Today I noticed that the pilow moss I had in there was a little brown in some spots and had white fuzzy stuff to in different areas I'm thinking of changing it although I not sure if it will efect the frogs or not but I have and alternitive it this leaf litter Josh's Frogs - magnolia leaves - leaf litter Would this work for this particular species?

Vittatus are generally ground dwellers and tend to shoot to cover when scared. I would go with a horizontal tank with heavy leaf litter and plenty of cover personally.

On a side note; Pm JimO, He is selling hand picked Magnolia leaves out of north Florida and I have yet to hear a bad remark about his leaves.
