Need advice on some new orchids
Default Need advice on some new orchids

I have been busy going to shows and made a few unexpected purchases. My two older daughters found the ascocentrums (ascocentrum ampullaceum and ascocentrum pumilum) intriguing and wanted to get them. As I understand it, I only need to care for them until they have their own homes. I have found conflicting advice on how to grow them so I would love to know how others are growing them. The larger one is in a net pot, the smaller is mounted with moss.
As for the Den x delicatum album, I wondered about lighting, watering, rest period(?), and temps. It just went out of bloom but I don't yet see new growth.
The vendor said to treat the podangis dactyloceras as an angraecum and what I have read says these do well in vanda baskets with lava rock. What size basket should I get? It is mounted right now. How wet/dry do these like to be? They are so small and have such fine roots....
Last is the zygolum louisendorf. Is this grown just as a
zygopetelum? I thought the tag was a mispelling. Opps.
Thankyou to anyone who can help.
