Default Question about leaves

I just re-potted my orchids this past weekend and the leaves are starting to droop a bit. They are dark green in color and easy to bend the leaves. Is this normal after a re-pot? See pics below. Any ideas of what this is. Could it be the moss is to wet still. I did take them out side the other day in the nice sun and they got better but once back in the house they gone back down.

It may be that they are adjusting to the repot. Give them a bit of time.

What kind of light are they in? Generally, phals can take a fair amount of indirect light as long as the leaves don't get too warm and burn.
If yours are dark green and floppy it may be they need more light.
