purple velvet plant in terrarium. Good Idea?

I went to Lowes today and got a beautiful, (rare i think) purple velvet plant. I got it for my terrarium. Here are the specs of it:

Humidity- 70-80%

light- medium to bright(1 150 watt heat lamp, one small fishtank light)

temperature- 70-80oF

size- large Exo-Terra

soil- coco-fiber (with coco-fiber background)

animals- yes (one green tree frog, one green anole, one gray tree frog, one "long-tailed- lizard)

drainage- yes. gravel below coco soil

background- (i heard this plant was either a climbing vine or an epiphyte) made from "www.blackjungle.com" link, "How to build a custom landscape or background for your vivarium. "

Based on these specs, would this plant be a good choice? I also need care info for it.

Thanks,

Chris
