Consider how to get cooler nights... Miltoniopsis doesn't need a lot of temperature variation, but the Den cuthbertsonii typically does want cool nights. You'll see what you can get away with. (I am a "What can I get away with?" orchid grower... I learn by pushing the envelope) I almost never say "never" ... usually set myself a limit of 2 failures before I give up on a species. Occasionally will push it to 3 if I think I know what I did wrong. Then I go on to try something else, there are soooo many choices.

I actually have been bringing the thermostat down to 64 at night. I sleep better that way anyway😁
I had read that the miltons prefer cooler temps also, and they have been doing well. I Love the smell they have.
