If I remember OK, Huntleya likes it soggy wet, i.e., you cannot overwater it.
As far as I can tell, most of those plants are cool low light plants. Either you live in a cool place, or you must have active cooling on your terrarium. The T5s certainly heat up the joint.
I tried Dracula lotax in an intermediate GH, and it slowly withered away. So I don't think it can really handle intermediate.
Masd. mendozae grows intermediate, mounted, pretty low light.
Haerella odorata is intermediate growing. Was very good for a few years, than decided to die. One down.
While I really like Andy (and Harry and Bill and Katrin, of course), Andy is a good sales person for whom everything is easy; take it with a grain of salt. Also remember, you see your plants in your environment, Andy doesn't. So if a plant looks unhappy, do something about it. I tried Oberonia "oligotricha" in moss hanging basket, intermediate, warm, low-high light, and it all just slowly died. Eventually, someone suggested that moss is no good. Trying it right now again mounted on shingle.
SBIOS was fun. Got a Malaxis and an Oberonia aff. myosurus from Andy, a Notylia microchila, a Ornithocephalus and Macroclinum from Ecuagenera, and three large Oberonia maxima from Katai/Pharo.
Will be interesting to see whether I can keep the Malaxis alive. Got some in the intermediate GH and some in the warm terrarium, all of course in the shadiest part and very wet.
One pre-order Malaxis from POE turned out to be a leaf-less version. Not sure whether that means DOA, or whether there is some hope. Haven't thrown it yet, but not too optimistic.
