Answer 2

I have had really good luck with the phaleanopsis orchid (moth orchid) it requires very little care.  High humidity and average light and temps.  Google orchid site to find out what type you have..

That may help.  

One of mine has rebloomed 3 years in a row.

Answer 3

I keep mine in a warm, moderately lit area...I have set the pot in a dish filled with 1 inch rock with a little water in it to provide some humidiity. Be sure that the pot is not sitting in water itself. don't worry about bloom time just experience it. If it is blooming you must be doing something right.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Different care and growing conditions for different types.
