Great advice here!!
Jared, you picked some of the toughest /difficult plants to keep alive indoors! I think through the years I killed every plant you mentioned. My hardest to keep alive Orchid is a Phal!
Do you have sunny window sills? Can you grow in Summer outside? I started out with Fall blooming Cattleyas, kept them outside over the Summer, watered and fertilized with my small garden. I would bring them inside in the Fall/middle of September and watch them bloom in October, November into December. I was hooked!
There are smaller Cattleyas around which would be easier to manage on a small windowsill too.
Bc Hoku Gem 'Sunspots' is an example, it blooms several times a year blooming right now!
