Help with ID and care

Hello everyone!
My family brings me all their dead /half dead plants for me to bring back to life. I do pretty well and have 2 orchids in the group that I need info about. I have attached pics of each. They are currently in high indoor light 24hrs. With normal home temps. Im not sure what their requirements are and need info on how to get them to bloom again. I got them with just a stick and leaves. They both have sprouted new leaves but thats it. Will they ever bloom again? Do I need to repot?

Thank you!

Ps- the "stick" in one pic is support.

Pictures are kinda dark, but I'd say the leaves look healthy! I'm not a root person though...

Lightened the pics

They look like phalaenopsis

They are definitely Phalaenopsis. Most likely NOID hybrids that are extremely difficult to nail down to the grex and cultivar name, because they are mass produced.

They will rebloom again and they are far from being dead as long as the plant is in good shape; roots, leaves, stem and all.

If you have further questions, there are lots of posts regarding Phalaenopsis on the OB, you just need to do a quick search on the search engine. You may also peruse through the sticky in the "Beginner's Discussion" called: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ends-here.html

Of course, if you like, you may also post your specific questions as well.

Here's the phalaenopsis culture sheet from the American Orchid Society.

Thanks! I will try to figure these out. I wonder if I should look for signs of needing to be repotted?
