Most of those should be ok. I can’t speak too much for the Trisetella, mine has been growing fine but recently took a nose dive and dropped a bunch of leaves. Also, 70% humidity might be a little low for that one. It could grow ok, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the buds blast at that humidity. Any of my Pleurothalliad types, I try to keep at 85% and above.
For the Masdevallias, maybe. The day temps seem fine but the night temps you have are on the warm side. With the elevation that the prodigiosa comes from, it sounds like it would need a much larger diurnal range than what you currently have. The auropurpurea might do a little better. Personally, I would try something like a Masdevallia floribunda, herradurae, or wendlandiana. Those can do ok with the warmer nights and I’m sure there’s other warm growing species that others could advise on. I keep a Masd. discoidea and a Masd. wendlandiana in my warm tank and both have been doing well (and the discoidea has bloomed) with about a 10-12° diurnal range
For mounts, of course Andy’s Orchids would be the best first stop! He has a nice search function under the “power search” you can search specifically for mounted orchids suitable to vivariums
What are you growing in there currently?
