Kathy, do you repot immediately or wait till blooms have faded?

These freebies I'm nursing have some brown or browning leaves, I'm not sure if that's from sunburn or getting too cold. The poor things were given to a friend and me in early spring, we forgot them in her car for a few days, then she put them on her porch where they were exposed to bright sun and a couple of nights in the 30s. I'd completely forgotten about them till I was at her house a few weeks later, and they still looked pretty decent, considering all that. Now they've been potted in good medium, and have new growth developing.

Should those brown leaves be removed? What about the partially brown leaves?

Susan, what kind of winter conditions do you provide your orchids? I use humidity trays under lights for begonias, and thinking that may be good for the Orchids as well.
