Anyone know what type of plant this is? Bought it unlabeled from a nursery. Was told it can survive in a closed terrarium if that helps at all (it didn’t do too well, some parts of it turned into a black sludge). Tips on how to revive are appreciated as well!

Looks like a begonia of sorts? It might have a bacteria or fungal issue. I’d give it a good hose down and spray it down with fungicide if you have. Regardless, if its an infection or pests, giving it a good cleaning can help.

Will do, thanks!

The polka dot begonias don’t have that hair like stuff on the leaves.
