    These easy-to-grow orchids require little to zero effort

    If you love flowers and are thinking of getting some fancy orchids, this is for you. Choosing which orchids to bring home can be a daunting task, with more than 28,000 species to choose from. However, some orchids grow best on the windowsill or under diffused light in the home environment. Bring home these five orchids even if you don't have a green thumb.

This orchid grows best in a bright but shaded spot, i.e. with no direct sunlight. It requires lots of fresh air and typically grows in temperatures between 15°C and 18°C. Water prosthechea cochleata only once its soil is almost dry.

    Odontoglossum

    Native to western South America, Odontoglossum is a genus of 70 species. This orchid generally prefers bright sunlight and grows best in temperatures between 22°C to 26°C.
