Default Ill mature orchids, newbie help please.

Hi, I am a newbie to the Forum and have looked for information quite a bit.

Can anyone please give me any advice on the following orchids which have started to get ill on me.

I have had then 2-3 months and recently I was away and my husband accidently used the air conditioning too much which is what I think has happened along with the weather being very hot and then becoming very dull (no sun) and cold.

The first is a large 1 metre (42 inches) tall and the top 6 flowers are ok but bottom 4 have started to shrivel since I fed and watered it. Please see first two photos. Ill mature orchids, newbie help please.-mature-orchid-1-jpg Ill mature orchids, newbie help please.-mature-orchid-2-jpg

What do I do to try and remedy the problem and save this wonderful orchid please.

The second one is a pink orchid which is buding but some flowers are shrivelling. http://www.orchidboard.com/community...1&d=1234691948

The third is a white orchid which is shrivelling all the flowers and the stem has turned yellow so I have cut it back to the best green part. See photo of how it was. Ill mature orchids, newbie help please.-white-orchid-1-jpg

This fourth orchid was in the sun too much and has lost all flowers. Ill mature orchids, newbie help please.-white-orchid-1-jpg

Is there anything I can get to keep them humid in cold unsunny weather... Please let me know any advice. Many thanks in advance.
