Light is not a problem (just don't leave them in the cellar, though) there are special feeding mixtures for orchids, do not use the same as you would for roses or petunias.

Answer 4

Half strength tomato food-rainwater if you have chalky tap water-light but not strong sunlight.

Answer 5

They like to have their roots in light, so stand your container in a glass vase.  I always use a slow drip fertiliser bottle which you can leave in the pot.  When watering just take it out of the glass vase and pour water through the pot and let it drain.  That is all of the water it needs and do it once every week.

Answer 6

yes it best to feed them a cheap bottle  of water not tap water as it will kill it nd yes they need light
