Sure, they're a natural. Place them in the high light areas with vandas and
you'll have great blossoms in spring before the vandas. They do like a
dryish cool winter, so they don't have to stay with the vandas all year. Add
some epiphytic gesneriads from Nematanthus, Codonanthes and Aeschanthus,
some tillandsias esp Spanish Moss, other bromeliads and you begin to make a
habitable jungle insead of a sterile greenhouse. I like to add in the
crotons, Streletzias, a few bananas, spathiphyllums, anthuriums, exotic
philodendron, etc. Where you are, that should be fairly easy. Work the whole
thing together as an artwork. Epis will fit in nicely in hanging baskets.
Some are more upright while others are sprawling or pendant. Place them
appropriately. If you treat them the same as their neighboring orchids, then
pot them in a very light mix. Mine do well in a paph mix without any soil.

Does anyone grow epiphyllums with thier orchids? Any info would be
appreciated as I just ordered a couple of plants and several cuttings. I
want to put everything together with my orchids if possible
