It sounds to me like you have two of the easiest plants to grow. Phalaenopsis is a beginners orchid. Do you know how to grow an african violet? If you grow your phalaenopsis the same way it will do well. The other plant you called an epidendrum is probably one of the Epidendrum radicans or reed stem varieties that is also a beginners orchid and sometimes called the weed orchid because it is so prolific. Get a small bag of orchid potting mix and re-pot both of them. Give the epidendrum all of the light that you can, being careful not to sunburn it. Touch the leaves to make sure they are not very hot if you place it in the sun. Of course the phalaenopsis likes african violet light. The other two members won't agree but your Miracle Gro will work fine. Since you already have it, use it at one tsp. per gal of water and during winter months, once every two weeks is adequate. Hope this helps.
