Orchid potting soil?
I don't understand...
You mean the stuff people use to grow Cymbidiums?
Or are you referring to fir bark chips (aka wood chips, orchid bark, fir bark)?
If it's the stuff for Cymbidiums, I recommend removing them from the "soil", and potting in bark.
Each genera (genera is the plural form of genus), requires different grades of bark.
There are three grades that I'm aware of:
1. small grade (aka seedling grade)
2. medium grade
3. large grade
Some companies that sell orchid potting media (particularly bark), like to add stuff like perlite (perlite is basically volcanic glass that's formed in a certain way - it's the same material as obsidian, which is also volcanic glass in a different form) to the bark they sell. This is fine.
However, if you come across a company that sells their brand of orchid bark mix that contains peat moss (peat moss usually refers to finely chopped, or degraded moss - the same material found in peat bogs, where stuff like bog mummies are found) as part of the mixture, I don't recommend this. Peat moss is too acidic (I believe the pH is usually around 3 - 4, but don't be surprised if you did a pH test on it, that it could sometimes turn out to be somewhere around 2). It also has the problem of compacting easily and can therefore rot the roots out. Very few orchids actually grow in material this acidic.
The proper balance of aeration and water must be achieved in order to succeed.
Here's a link to First Rays, a company that a member here on the OB named Ray owns, there's some info about air management and moisture balance:

All the plants you've listed are epiphytes (grows on trees).
Here's the breakdown of the word epiphyte:
epi: Greek prefix meaning - "on"
