Depending on the species. Moth orchids require plenty of light, make sure you have a good plant light. You can wrap a bunch of moist sphagnum moss to the roots with a zip tie or something, then secure it at the upper section of your enclosure. Maybe tie the sphagnum moss bundle onto a branch or something. They pretty much thrive in tropical conditions.

I just got a T5 bulb off of amazon, but if you're looking for a really good grow bulb the Jungle Dawn bulbs by arcadia are the way to go! They are just seperate from the quad fixture
