That soil might be a bit too rich for some of the plants, like the lithops. You’re taking risks with root rot, especially without drainage.
The snake plant, if it establishes, is going to want a lot more room than that. They don’t like being rootbound. All of these plants like to dry out, but I think some more than others. Ie, the lithops and snake can go quite some time without water, AFAIK, whereas the SOH and rhipsalis are probably going to be unhappy if they go more than a week or two without water.
It’s a cool composition, but terraria are generally much easier to care for when you plant them only with plants that like your stay evenly moist and aren’t terribly prone to rot.
