Default How long before introducing animals to viv?

I built a viv for my RETF that features several pothos. I know these plants are hardy and grow relatively fast, but what is an adequate time to allow the plants to establish themselves in the tank before introducing the frogs? The last thing I need is having to re-plant the entire tank. Moreover, do crickets eat pothos? I generally throw in a few more crickets than I know the frogs will need, and I'm worried about them chewing on my new plants. Thanks!

Edit: refitted tank for a future chondro as opposed to RETF. (Pics soon.) Still keeping it empty for now. I would, however, still appreciate any input on how long you folks left your vivs empty before introducing animals to them.
