Can I plant an orchid in regular potting soil?

It really depends on the species of orchid. I'm growing 60 year old orchids that my mother-in-law brought from Hawaii when she moved to LA. I have some in regular potting soil and some in the ground. Our soil is very poor, degenerated granite. Their growth is unstoppable! I get so many re-growths that I give them away to my neighbors and as gifts on her birthday to honor her. I have only killed one plant as a result of over-watering, but doubt the soil had anything to do with it.

Can I plant an orchid in regular potting soil?
No. You will kill it.
