Default Need an expert opinion

Hello Everyone,

okay, I built my first vivarium about couple of months ago. I have a misting system in there, 4 nozzles, working every 2 hours for 20sec except at night from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. I have 2 pc fans working 24/7. temp varies from 26c to 29c
My wife and I are visiting Malaysia currently and that gave me the chance to visit their orchid garden in KL (it's beautiful, by the way). I purchased 4 mini orchids, really cheap, about $20 for 4 of them.
I need you to help by telling me names of these orchids so that I can read more about them, if they they will do fine in my vivarium or if i need to change some of the settings I mentioned above and anything that will help me make them happy in there.
Thank you and I very much value your contribution

Best Regards

Welcome to OB!

Picture 1, I do not see any orchids, but I do see bromeliads and possiblly a Bird's Nest Fern
Picture 2, Maudie type Paphiopedilum
Picture 3, I think it is an Ascovandoritis
Picture 4, Brassovola nodosa or maybe B. Little Stars
Picture 5, Could be Ionopsis utricularioides

For the Paph I have attached a link for a culture sheet.
AOS | Paphiopedilum

For the Asocvandoritis and the Brassovola the do quite well in Cattleya conditions They can also handle warmer conditions quite well. They do need to dry out between waterings. Here ia a link for Cattleya culture.
AOS | Cattleya

As for the rest I do not know.
