Default My Cymbidiums

This are my flowers. I want to ask you if the first one need repoted and if is look bad or like an old plant.

The other one ,yellow flowers, look more healty to me. Please some advice how to take care of them.

I place them outside in east location with full sun just in morning, temperatures was jus 45 in the night but not to much humidity, I spray with water in day time.

The last two pictures are from 3 weeks ago; I hope the light green on leafs is better now.

I don't know cyms, but want to keep this on top for others to chime in. I think they like being in tight quarters, don't they? Also I read that they require much light. Sounds like you have the perfect place for them.

The first Cymbidium with the massive root system needs repotting. I would pot it the next pot size up.

BTW, both are healthy to me. Just because the first one needed repotting doesn't mean it's unhealthy, on the contrary.
