Based on your image of the thermometer and hygrometer, it may be a bit too dry and cold for the vandas.
They like it really humid and warm.

The potinaras should be ok with that microclimate as long as they get plenty of air circulation.

I recently spotted one bloom spike on one vanda, could be the effect of warmer days, which were last week. But yes, I think it is cold for them in the night,12-14celsius.

Potinaras... I am not sure, first I the leafes went dark red because of the sun, so I had to move them more in the shade, but I spotted no growing developent so far. The air circulation is ok, the net arround is permeant. It is not a cloth.
