Silken, a variety of orchids can be had without microclimates. You just have to choose plants that will work for what you offer and aspects such as water, light, shade, medium etc. can all be regulated by you.
I don't use sphagnum in my medium for Catts. Too damp too long FOR MY GROWING CONDITIONS. I keep my ingredients for mediums seperate till I have someone ready to pot up and then mix what I need according to its needs. I capitalized that portion for you to realize that your circumstances are different than mine. What works for me may not for you. It is what King of Orchid Growing has pinted out.
But again, microclimates really shouldn't apply if you go with orchids that take similar conditions. All else you can modify according to their needs and what you can give them.
