Update!

I soaked the bark in a bowl of water, and put about a cup of regular orchid soil in the pots as well. It filled in the gaps and will probably help retain moisture. The pots do drain. My healthier one perked up a LOT in just 3 days! The leaves are standing up on their own! I am going to keep the flower spike on this one since it is doing so well. I did cut the spike on the really limp one. Hopefully this will make both of you two happy. Here's the food I was using. I watered it down quite a bit for now. Once they come back to life I will start using it again conservatively.
