Default Are all these plants compatible for my tank?

Im ordering my plants from black jungle today and was wondering if this is fine? Also im doing D. Luecomelas.

2 Brom pups
1 Fern - Nephrolepis cordifolia 'duffii' (Lemon Button Fern)
1 Oxalis Silver & Gold
1 Calathea 'Pink Aurora'
1 Tillandsia velutina
1 Salvinia natans
1 Jewel Orchid- Ludisia discolor

This is all going in my 56 gallon. Would all these work together and with my frog species?

I don't know all of those plants, but if you got them from BJ, they'll likely be fine and even optimal choices for your tank. I'll wait for someone else to go into detail about the specific plants.

They all sound fine to me. Just make sure your Tilliandsia doesn't stay wet too much. A lot of them need to dry out a bit.

All those plants will do fine, given the sustaining requirements are attainable. I know nothing of your tank other than it's so many gallons. To acertain suitability for some of these plants you must privide with some detail to the aspects of air circulation, temp (which I'm sure won't be a problem), humidity, light availability and what ever else I may be lagging.

A second note to the nephrolepsis, is, just have fun chasing and clipping all it's 3ft runners. A beautiful plant with a nice scent, but can be more work than it's worth for some applications.

P.S. Most ferns/sporing plants including the nephrolepsis can all be obtained through buying a sheet of tropical moss and giving appreciable conditions. Out of all my ferns I may have bought 2 or 3.

Thanks for all the help. On the tank will be Power Compacts, glass top to keep humidity in and also for humidity i ordered an air exchanger which puts in humidified air and pulls out air inside the tank(i figured it would be good for air circulation). I also bought the plant fertilizer so i think im ready for these guys when they come in. How often do you guys mist your tanks?

A viv that sealed and humid will not need to be misted very often.

What fertilizer are you speaking of?

I'm not sure that I would use that INSIDE a terrarium. I don't know the affects it would have on the frogs.
