Default New here and need advice on longifolium x kovachii

Hello. I'm so glad I found this forum. I have 5 Phalaenopsis. I have managed to not kill them for years now and they bloom every year. I have one paphiopedilum Petula's Glory that I bought 3 years ago
From Orchids Limited. It's doing great and blooms for me every year.
Today I got a phragmipedium Incan Treasure (longifolium x kovachii)
Plus, a oncdiinae Burrageara Nelly Isler. I'm very excited however, nervous as hell. I have east and west windows. My lower level is in the 60s and the upper level is in the 70s. Where should I put my new family members?

Thanks

East - and you may need to consider supplemental lighting, especially in the winter, as both of the new plants like more light than the phals.

Thanks. What about the temperature? One area is in the low to mid-60s and the other is low to mid-70s.

Phals and Paph on upper level and probably the Phrag, tho someone may disagree with me on that one. I'm not familiar with the Burrageara.

I'm a little late to the party, but welcome to the Orchid Board! My collection is mostly Phals, and they do great in my home which stays in the low to mid-70s year-round. We often hear the advice that a drop in temperature is helpful to initiate blooming, so maybe that lower level of yours will come in handy for those times, as long as the light is adequate.
