Default which of these orchids are ok?

Hello! I am deciding some plants to put in my viv, and I have a group of orchids that I am having trouble growing in my house (to dry, they are mounted). I don't want them to die outside, but I don't want to give them away or sell them, so which of these do you think would work well in a viv?
Note: I wouldn't use sphagnum moss on their roots unless it looks like they need it after a while (so they don't rot). The tank will be misted probably every day.

Here they are:

Epidendrum (now Encyclia?) Belizensis
Epidendrum (same as above?) Joseph Lii
Oncidium Flexuosum (My favorite! Please say yes! ops: )
Oncidium Biflorium
Miltonia Spectablis var Mooreliana

Thanks for the help! I love these guys!

Default Re: which of these orchids are ok?

Well, my concern is that a few of these are big. I have Oncidium Flexuosum and it is pretty big, so it might not fit in a small tank, but it is a cool plant for sure. Check out this thread for ideas. http://www.dendroboard.com/plants/topic37050.html
