The classification refers to the minimum temperture the orchid prefers during winter nights. Cool growers, such as cymbidiums, do best when nights drop to about 50°F, while warm growers, such as phalaenopsis, don't like it much below 60°F at night. Intermediate types, such as cattleyas, prefer night time temperatures between those two. More info listed there. i hope this helps you Dear.

Try some orchid medium, along with the sphagum moss, Try a good orchid fetilizer, also stop fertilizing when you see flower spikes, cut off dead pseudobulbs.

Try mixing some Miracle Grow with water and dampen the soil with this about once a week, but do NOT over water them. If you are seeing New growth it is coming back to Life.
