It would seem these store bought orchids are full of problems.

That is a problem only for us, final costumers.
Orchid nurseries use many potting materials which are not recomended to us because we want our plants to live for several years.
They do it to make sure the plants survive the, sometimes long, "journey" since they are sent to the vendor until they are bought by us.
Usually they use water rententive materials to avoid plants dehydration in the stores. Sometimes they take so much time to be sold giving time for this medium to degrade up to the point of rot.
