I’ve seen polka dots in a lot. And fittonias as well but I’m unsure about what kind they’ve been. Other than that, I don’t have a clue.
Edit: one I know probably won’t work is any tradescantia (“wondering jew”, but these are no longer referred to like this. They are now called “wondering dudes”). They’re too succulent-like to survive in a closed terrarium I fear.

Polka dot plants grow fast and big, so just be prepared if it’s a small one lol

Idk how well they’d do in a terrarium, cant grow them from cuttings, but plumosa ferns are some of the coolest plants Ive owned hands down ever! They are actually a type of asparagus and not technically a fern

Generally speaking most begonias tend to do poorly without air circulation as they tend to get moldy.
If you want something similar to a Rex begonia I would start with saxifraga stolonifera. They are much more hearty in an in closed environment especially in a low tech set up.
*edit – side note: it’s mostly considered sort of taboo to use the term “wandering Jew” for a tradescantia these days. So, it’s really best to not spread images that use those outdated names.
Wandering jews love moisture. I propagated a purple one in 4 weeks while just in water

Depends on size but a lot of thoes will out grow it very fast also many can’t handle the high humidity. I like using aquarium plants most will grow above land and their small so the scale is better. They can also handle the high humidity well.
There’s a lot of vivarium plants available that you can get. You check dart frog stores and Facebook groups. Offen plants are cheaper from individuals on Facebook

Looks like you’re going through the Amazon dealer that sells 12 of “gardener’s choice.” Some are okay some aren’t. Peperomia is okay. Some philodendrons are. Certain ivy is. You’ll have to see what you get and identify them. Don’t use google. [this](https://identify.plantnet.org/) or some equivalents are much better

My favorite terrarium plant that i rarely see anyone else use is mint! It grows all scraggly in terrariums and likes to creep along the edges
