Default beginner plants

hey all... im relatively new to the forum and am preparing to put together my first 30gal terrarium. i was wondering if someone here could point me towards some good beginner plants (relatively easy maintenance) that are good for this size tank. note: i am not turning the tank on its end. thanks in advance!

btw - this is gonna be a dart frog terrarium, so relatively high moisture

try pothos, spider plant, babys tears, and look herefor more inspiration, not all the plants will suit you but some will.

lighting of course will make a difference but:
Drosera, ferns, african violets, bromeliads (may need be mounted so not in wet substrate), some orchids, pennywort, selaginella, ..............

Thanks for the help thus far. Now can you advise as to which of these plants can be grown right on a background (maybe something climbing?) or on driftwood, which will need a planter to go on the background and which are best to go on the ground substrate? Thanks in advance!
