Masdevallia/Dracula in florida heat

[Bagus]

Hello everyone, I am new here (kinda)

I've been lurking for a while and have been using this forum to answer some of my more specific questions, but sometimes the search button just isn't enough. So I've decided to make an account.

I have recently been looking at Various Masdevallia, Dracula, and Dracuvallia from Ecuagenera but I have not dared to pull the trigger on one because I know these are usually cool-intermediate growers and my only growing area is outdoors in zone 10a heat.

However I have seen some people here use Kool-logs to keep the roots cool enough for them to survive. I have a couple tall terracotta cylinder pots which I could try to emulate this effect with, but I would hate to waste time and money just to kill anything I tried to mount on it.

Any advice to allow these genus to beat the heat?
