Answer #1
The easiest inside orchids to grow are probably the Phalaenopsis. They require little light and are pretty forgiving of most orchid errors. Also, they are inexpensive and easy to find at local garden centers.

Answer #2
I find Miltoniopsis (miltonia hybrids) - they like a shaded room which is quite warm - first for all orchids you need to keep the air humid. I have found that if you have trays of water on the sill next to the plant then it works well - most orchids like that - cymbidium and Phalaenopsis are also ment to be good - The cymbidium you put outside in the summer but the fustrating thing is they don't always flower - I've only seen mine flower twice in 7 years and the first time was when I got it, so if you don't have experience it would be best to leave it
