Unhappy 2 phalaenopsis with droopy, wrinkling leaves :(

Hello everyone

I've got my two boys who seem to be having some trouble...Let's start with Alfred (Alfie):



Alfie's growing at a North East window (like all my orchids) indoors. I've had him since October 2014 (present) and he had beautiful flowers for me that never flowered again. I could never figure out why so I repotted him in what you see now, special orchid medium I bought online (Sun Bulb Better Gro Special Orchid Mix). His roots were terrible and I cut back his spikes all the way even though they were green but I didn't want to stress him. He was doing great; gave me baby leaves and hurrah! New roots! I didn't even care I didn't get flower spikes; I was so happy! But now...all his leaves are drooping...Am I over watering???? I'm scared of under watering because of the region I'm in. Dubai, the desert...We're indoors where temperatures are usually about 69 degrees sometimes less sometimes more. What do you guys think? I usually water once a week; let it drain thoroughly. But I've realised there's some condensation in Alfie's clear pot, even now after a week of not watering...maybe I really am over watering...

Bob, who I got from Ikea 1 Jul 2015:

is placed on the same table. Still flowering in the pot he came in which happens to be cracked but I don't want to move him. I watered Bob today so his roots look pretty happy but am I overwatering him too? His leaves are going the same way as Alfie's...

whew! Sorry for the long post guys, I'm really excited to help them thrive!
