New Terrarium Build

I'm starting to rethink the carnivorous plant idea. After 3 days of hard research I've concluded that I think it would be too much work for me, especially with school and everything. Now the issue is... what can I plant in there? It has to be relatively small... I'd like a combo of short and tall plants, maybe some flowers, and nothing too demanding. Since I'm not going to be doing carnivorous plants the possibility of housing a critter in there opens up again. Any Suggestions?

African violets and mosses?

That sounds like a good idea, I'll have to look into that. I got this plant yesterday that's a low-growing fern.. i don't know what type it is because it just says "FERN" on the tag. If I put violets with that in the terrarium, are there any taller plants I could use as well, just for a bit of dimension and height?
 
there are a lot of house plants that would do that.
Miniature spathiphyllum would be good.
or a small growing begonia.
There are also lots of small orchids and ferns that would fit in there too.
