Begin your orchid journey with the beginner-friendly Phalaenopsis orchid, which thrives in typical household temperatures.

For the next step, options like Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, and Oncidiums are popular choices, but research their care requirements before deciding.

1. Consider the elegant Cattleya or the striking Paphiopedilum (Lady Slipper orchid).
2. Provide bright indirect light for Phalaenopsis orchids, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
3. Place them near a window or on a covered balcony but bring them indoors during colder months. Care involves maintaining a moist but not overwatered growing medium, ensuring proper drainage, and fertilizing weekly with orchid fertilizer.

With these tips, your Phalaenopsis orchid will reward you with months of beautiful blooms. Enjoy the journey of orchid cultivation!
