Not too difficult to do but very different to Cannabis, almost the opposite with high humidity and shade needed. Worth trying a few as houseplants as even some terrestrial types can be quite easy with basic care indoors.

Take a trip to McBeans Orchids when they do an open day, they are the oldest growers in the UK with a top rep.

Lovely plants orchids, Amaryllis are fun too, much easier to grow…. @ here winters get extremely cold & humidity very low inside; Britain or similar Comparatively would be paradise IMO

Great collection there led. See a nice Trichocereus too!

Worth mentioning also 944s2 that your water quality is important for the growing of high end orchids, the Phalenopsis types you get most places now are less fussy and can do really well with little care.
