Thank you for any advice.

Cymbidiums are the easiest. That's all I know

I'd change that to Phalaenopsis or moth orchids. They seem to tolerate
household conditions and light levels better than most and are the easiest
to encourage to rebloom. Thre are many good books on growing orchids and
orchid care, also lots of info online if you just a do a search.
