Some of the species I have in mind are Sophronitis, Dracula, Masdevallia... a lot of them can tolerate intermediate daytime temperatures (which is what I usually have) but need a cool down at night to survive. I also want to ensure against the occasional blazing hot days and not have to cool the entire apartment just for those orchids.
I actually struggle with hot growers too! I have a Vanda that has bud blasted over and over to show for it, haha. But I don't have room for big showy plants and am intrigued by some of the miniature weirdos, a lot of which come from higher altitudes.
