lighting
When I first started growing orchids I went with florecents but found out vey quickly they were not getting enough light so I went to lowes and bought a 125watt metal halide and haven't had any problem since.I don't know if the florecents were the wrong light spectrum or what but orchids have been thriving ever since.

Plants have to have a certain ligt spectrum to grow well,there are plant lights you can buy(plant and aquarium).Florecent light work well in combonation with natural light but alone,will not give the plant what it needs.I use a 100W metal halide for my plants,you could go more watts,but I found it works well combined with natural light,If you have anymore questions post here and I will try to answer the best I can.
