Thanks, I will check the roots. I should clarify that one of the plants
is recovering, the white one. These both have sentimental ties for me,
so I will try to save them. (One was given to me at the birth of my
daughter and the other one, the sick one, was a gift when I was in
hospital fighting for my own life last year.) I should also mention
that they are both blooming right now.

I did not know that misting was not good! What do I do instead? They
are in the kitchen, beside the sink and in a filtered window.
I really love my orchids and want to learn more about caring for them
so that I may expand my "collection".
