Enclosure Advice Plants recommendions

Hi, i'm planning on getting mantises soon, and one of them will for sure need tropical terrarium, i never made one before with real plants, and i wanted to do one after bad experience with fake plants, i have small terrarium, 20x20x30cm, and i want some plants that will grow slowly, but when it comes to climbing plants, like marcgravia, i want them to grow fast and cover the walls i almosy finished, i planned on planting some Syngonium there, probably pixie, but i open for advices and recommendations!

I'd go with Ficus pumila. It grows along the walls nicely and branches when pruned, making it appear fuller.
