Best to research the different types of orchids by reading about them on the net, a good book, or better still, find someone in your area that grows them and ask for advice.
there are thousands of different types of orchids, and they have very different growing requirements. Some need winter chill to set flowers, others need tropical heat and humidity.
Some grow in soil, others grow on trees with roots exposed to air. If you live in a warm climate, read about Phalaenopsis, vanda, cattleya, dendrobium. If a cooler climate, read about paphiopedilum, cymbidium, odontoglossum.
No orchid like to be over watered or have the pot sitting in wate as it rots the roots.
Light and temperature will depend on what type you want to grow
