I have decided to start growing Orchids - I would like advice on the best and most blooming varieties

I used to be hesitant about growing orchids. I have found that if I keep them out of direct sunlight, but in a spot that gets plenty of bright in-direct light they do very well. Also, orchids like humidity so keep them away from heat sources. I keep my pots on a tray filled with gravel. I water the gravel once a week or so. If the orchid looks a little droopy, I will also mist with a very fine mister. I find I need to do this in the winter more often than the summer because of the furnace.

Moth orchids and oncidiums seem easiest. I have almost all of my orchids in the East window. They flower constantly and get huge! Nothing like when I purchased them.

confident, an orchid could have 2 stems and no, do no longer get rid of the 2d stem. you're fortunate to have your orchid bloom in any respect. i could desire to be doing something incorrect with my orchids. i purchase the vegetation in bloom and that they never rebloom for me.
