I reviewed the long list and found most except Siam Ruby, Truly Tiny, Viente Cohol, and Plantain Dwf (maybe it has a different name?)
First three in your list stop growing at 70 degrees in my zone 6.
My plants are in containers and maintained.
However the plants will tolerate to 35 degrees for a time.

Aeae will thrive in outside tropical temps of 80 and above......stops growing in my zone 5/6 at 70 degrees and below and will overwinter under lights @ 65 degrees.will pup all year long.

Many growers in your area..

The other plants I cannot comment on......but conditions are similar
