The leopard gecko is a species that comes from an arid/dry area. The minimal shrubbery that their landscape consists of are nothing similar to that of New Zealand's. In order to sustain a plant from New Zealand, their would need soil, lots of water and humidity and in all truth, that's not what these geckos are custom to. It would be the best solution to purchase fake / plastic plants to decorate you leopard geckos terrarium.

Do you have to use a thermostat with a leopard gecko?
A thermostat to regulate or monitor heat is not required to keep a leopard gecko. This species will require an ambient heat of 88-94. This can be acquired on the warm side by using a heat mat. Most people refer to this as a UTH (under tank heater). Using a UTH allows the leopard gecko to rest it's belly against the warm substrates, which is key in keeping a leopard gecko. Most keepers will use a thermometer to monitor the heat within a terrarium.
Do you have to put something on the floor of a leopard gecko's tank?
Yes, a leopard gecko should not be dwelling on cold glass. They enjoy ambient temperatures of 95+ degrees. This can be done using a repti carpet/ Floor tiling. I do not encourage finely grain sand as the leopard gecko will ingest a lot during feedings. if the animal is removed for feeding in a separate terrarium, then finely grain sand would be acceptable.
Do leopard geckos bury?
Leopard geckos will dig for multiple different reasons. Most will not burrow within the substrates as a means to sleep. Some will however dig if they're gravid. When a female is eggbound, she will seek out the most damp spot in the terrarium and deposit her eggs when she is ready. If a leopard gecko is going through shed, it is common for them to again, seek out a damp spot in the terrarium to aid in the shedding process. In some cases, a leopard gecko will burrow a little in order to come closer to the under tank heater, if one is present.
