I got/also getting more plants on joshs, IMO they have bigger selection of common/uncommon plants, but Jewel orchids, they are a very rewarding and beautiful plant, it's rather hard unless you have a fair bit of air ventilation. Lemon button fern is also very nice, but a little trimming here and there is a good idea. As for bromeliads, you're pretty limited because ytou only have 12 inches of height, and most bromeliads get 12"+ in diameter, a few good ones would be an ampallo (AMAZING colour), midgets are nice (I have 5, don't get to big and pup often), MAYBE a zoe (I have one in my 20L, a little big...) and a few others similar in size. A black or white rabbit foots fern would work, all pilea (Moon valley and it's relative will get a little to big) are good, all types of wandering jew (red and its relative, Bolivia, to name a few.) and so on. Ficus pumila, maybe, if you trim a bit. All of your others are good choices for a 20L, but i'd take out a little substrate, as you only have 8" of space from what it looks like. Spikemoss is also good. Grows like java and riccia, but IMO, loks a bit better.

I've found New England herpoculture to have the best selection of plants appropriate for vivs.

Joshs frogs has a nice selection but everything is ALWAYS out of stock...

NEherp has a lot of plants, a bit more expensive than some of josh's, but they do have a lot of plants (about same as joshs) but if i'd get plants fromNEherp, they have super cheap tilladansias and really nice 2 inch pot plants for 4 bucks.
