Hi and welcome to Orchidboard

It's kind of hard to give a basic tutorial because orchids are so varied in their care. Most folks start with Phalaenopsis, I think. It's best to pick one or two types that will grow in your conditions and get adept at those before you start expanding...which you will want to do rather quickly

With the lighting you have, you might want to try out a Cattleya or a Dendrobium as they like higher light than the Phals.

Once you're ready to buy more...boy oh boy, are you in the right place! We'll be happy to help you shop
