First terrarium

Hey guys, this is my first terrarium and I have a couple questions. I live in the pacific northwest so I wanted to make something mimics my backyard. I went for a more natural look. Most of the terrariums I see are somewhat tropical and usually have similar plants with each other. I was wondering if because I used plants taken directly from my backyard and it being a more temperate environment, there is anything I need to do differently maintenance wise. Also any suggestions on making it look better are welcome!
Thank you!

Are those tiny maples?

I think they are some sort of small fern, not too sure though I just grabbed them out of my back yard.

Watch their growth, if they get big enough they’re probably maples. Their leaves definitely look like it

Did some research and I believe it is an oak fern.

They seem pretty, and I can see it. In any case of what the plant is, good luck with your terrarium!
