I'm the same with plants but luckily I have a friend who knows what she's doing. There is a good article on how to keep orchids alive below.

I as quickly as re-potted an orchid blindfolded. It became into an surprising journey. I actual have on no account carried out this different than blindfolded. i think of it somewhat is something you need to do now and back. i'm going to enable you recognize what i think of I did: I loosened the soil from the facets of the plastic pot by utilising squeezing it gently. Then lifted the full plant from the pot. I had a bowl of luke heat water next to me, and started to drag the moss from the roots until the roots (on a similar time as the flora roots have been in the water) have been thoroughly uncovered. This took a sturdy a million/2 hour to do. all of the moss went into the water. Then all of the moss have been given squeezed out and absorbed the water back. Then positioned somewhat moss into the pot, then the plant's roots, then crammed in the pot with the previous moss, renewed. This became into particularly a impressive journey. i think of it somewhat is something needed for the plant to flourish. yet we will see, you and me, by utilising the different solutions you get right here. Cheers!

Get a good book on orchids, there are 100s of kinds! And some are more touchy than others. All orchids require filtered light and high humidity. I'm lucky, I live in Florida and can grow them any time of the year. The stephanotis are the most fragrant. Good Luck!

They do like to have sun, so they must be at a window or on a porch. Not hot afternoon sun. I'm in Florida, adapt this to your climate.
Let them dry out completely before watering approx. once a week. Feed with an Orchid food. Don't change the pot until they really outgrow the one they are in when you buy them.

I sure that they need alot of sun so try and put it under a window were alot of sun is
give it 1 cup of water with some liquid fertilizer it is a bit expensive but i promise your orchids wont die
if you don't want to use liquid you can use normal fertilizer but liquid is way more effective.
