Orchids Withering After Move

Hello, just joined and need HELP.
We just moved from Winter Springs (Central Florida) 25 miles north to Osteen Florida. Our orchids are turning yellow and seem to be dieing off. They are in a similar sun light location,....could it be a change from city water to filtered well water causing the problem? Also, there is more of a constant slight breeze here than we had previously.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Harry

Any move can cause yellowing of leaves and leaf death. It really depends on the degree of damage. Usually losing a number of leaves is not something I worry about.

If it is the oldest leaves and the young ones look OK then you are fine. If not, it will depend on the variety and type of problem.

Oncidium types will lose many leaves this time of year and a move will increase the lose. Dens lose leaves all the time and I have stopped paying attention to it. Phals should never lose the newest leaves.

Come back with more specifics and I will try to help more.
