air plants dont do well in those because it traps moisture and they require plenty of open, not stagnant, air to not rot and to thrive. so many want to make aesthetic arrangements for their plants, but you need to research the environment they should be in before taking the time to do something ineffective and damaging to the plant.
unless these are different in care from the usual guys, i dont recommend leaving them in this. they need only air, no soil or dirt, nothing (with water and light of course).

OP, I too like making mini terrariums! Because air plants don’t like stagnant air and react by turning into rotten mush, I recommend you switch to using fittonia if you can. They’re super easy to propagate, LOVE humidity, and come in a range of greens, pinks, reds, and whites! They would love this kind of set up and most big box stores carry at least one or two kinds of them.
Other fun plants that like humidity are selaginella, asparagus ferns (look like mini trees!), string of turtles, and the oak leaf fig/string of frogs. I’ve kept them all successfully in terrariums like you’re making.
