Go to Lowe's, or Home Depot, look for Orchid bloom booster, some of the orchid food just produces more foliage, it really works, but orchids, don't continuous bloom like other house plants.

That kind of depends where you live. In the Southeast, just throw 'em outside in the summer. Feed and water regularly, but not too much. Light should be bright but not direct sun, especially in the middle of the day. That's it.
If you're out west where the humidity is low, or in the north where the temperature are cooler, it'll be a lot tougher. Orchids like high humidity, warm temperatures, and bright light.

If you don't have a greenhouse, I've heard that the bathroom is a great place to keep them, because they like tropical, moist, bright warm conditions.
