Default New to orcids need basic advice

My mother just gave me two orcids from a family memeber that just passed, though i have always admired these beautiful plants i have never owned one. I do consider myself to be a bit of a green thumb, i had over 40 house plants at one time but when i moved here we moved into a trailer and it is surrounded by 130 ft pine trees and i get very little light in the house so i gave many of them away after they were getting sick. The only steady light that i do get is of a southernly nature and from about 6 am to 3, that is where they are now.To my untrained eye they look like they need to repotted, (Oh i have a Phal Sogo Yukidian 'v3' and a epidendrum. at leat that is what the tags say.)Niether of them are blooming but the plants look good to me, nice and green though the epidendrum needs help standing. They were bone dry when i got them so i let the sit all night in water then removed them, i did give them a little miricle grow for good measure.My question is if i need to repot, what do i use? Do they like pinched feet?Do they have roots that need air? Will they rebloom? Do i cut back the now not blooming stalk on them both, leaving just the leavesor reed like stems? I think that i will leave it at that for now. Thank you for any help that you can give...Here is hopeing that i dont kill the poor things.
