Question caring for brassia, phrag and and bulbophyllum compared to phals and cymbidiums

Firstly, I'd just like to say hello I'm new to the forum, excited!

I have several phals and dendrobiums that have been doing very well in their chosen window (indoors), and cymbidiums under shadecloth outdoors. I've just been given a brassia, a couple phrags and a bulbophyllum. My question is what sort of care will the new orchids require compared to the ones I already have (more/less light, water etc.)? I've been reading some articles about them but it is difficult to know exactly what I should be doing so I thought if I can change the care if needed based on the other orchids, I might have more hope keeping them alive and happy haha.

All help is much appreciated!

P.S I live in Perth, Western Australia so any info specific to this area would be a bonus. Thanks

Welcome!!!
the brassia will like high to medium light so probably a bright window with indirect sunlight and atering when it approaches dryness. i have never grown a phrag so i cant answer that one but as for the bulbophyllum keep it moist at all times and a lower light level simmilar to the phals.

Welcome. The phrag will likely be fine grown in intermediate temps and they usually like a lot of water. I leave mine sitting in a shallow dish of water. Mine get fairly good light but not direct sunlight. All of of your orchids should have free draining media so that some air can get at the roots too. I usually like to re-pot or at least check the roots when I receive a new orchid.
