Watering is something that you can fix. The "cool evenings" part is a lot harder.
Those higher-elevation species tend to do well for me outside all year (though I have had not great success with Epi. capricornu, have done better with related species) but I try to stay away from orchids that need warmth because GH is tiny and I don't have room. No single environment works for everything - orchids are too variable. So one learns... nobody can grow everything unless they have different greenhouses to mimic different climates. Pick the ones that work for your growing environment, lots to choose from.
