    Sanseverias will need a little dryness or well drainage to prevent its leaf base from rotting.

    Wandering jews, watermelon begonias (genus Pellonia), epiphytic cactuses and small tillandsias are nice on a wall setting

    Just so I know we are one the same page, you are looking for plants inside the enclosure, right?

    If you are looking for vines, cissus amazonica is one of my favs for a Viv. Rhaphidophora pachyphylla is a great little vine. Very small leaves and it grows fairly quick. Some of the smaller peperomias are nice, like P. Emarginata. Peperomia rotundifolia is also a good one as is Peperomia quadrangularus. Then there are dischidias and hoyas. Some ferns love to climb, like pyrrosias and lemmaphyllums. I could go on and on. The issue will be your skill level of caring for live plants and what your budget is.

    Well my budget for the plants is in the 40-50$$ range.My substrate is a mix of peat moss,long fiber sphagnum,charcoal and a little bit of cypress mulch.I have 2 13 watt UVB 2.0 on the tank.What plants will survive in the bright light?

    Plants that prefer shade will be fine under that lighting. That's actually not very bright, believe it or not. as far as lighting goes, It may look bright, but to a plant, 13w is not bright at all.
