Root rot, moth orchid? How to fix this?

[Thawthorne09]

Hi everyone,

I literally have more plants than I have friends. Recently, I decided to try my hand at orchids. I did a bunch of reading and decided they were a good idea; I was up for the challenge. I bought my first orchid seven months ago. After awhile, its condition got really bad. I kept it around, hoping that it would bounce back, but it is steadily getting worse. Three or four months ago, I purchased a larger one hoping for better results.

How wrong I was.

The flowers are gradually falling off, in order, and the lower leaves are falling off as well. Both plants are in a moss, and the small plant suffered the same symptoms. Also, the smaller one's leaves are starting to shrivel. I love my plants, and I want to save them.

Here are some pictures:

Also, the flowers are fine...until they fall off.
