It is also known as the Vanilla Plant. Bet you didn't know that your vanilla comes from an orchid. These are the basics on growing orchid plants. I know that it seems scarey, but you can grow orchids. I have grown them indoors too.
Some use grow lights, and some use windows.
As long as they have enough light, and water correctly they will grow for you. To have an orchid bloom is such a great delight. To have orchids in the home adds a touch of elegance to your room. Give it a try. If you have questions about a specific orchid that you have, feel free to ask me.
