It is impossible to say!
What sort of orchids are they?
Where do you live in the USA?
Where are the orchids? inside your house? Outside in the yard? Near a window? In complete shade?
Tell the growers here more and you might get some help.

I'm new to orchids too! We had an orchid vendor come in April with hundreds of orchids. So I splurged and bought 6 (2 belong to my mother), even though I've never owned one before and when I brought them to my office someone commented that I got difficult ones to grow that I should have gotten easier ones. I have actually experienced the opposite, they have taken off nicely and all have fantastic growth. I have two Dendrobrium types and 4 Epidendrums, they ended up being beautiful plants. Can't wait till the vendor comes back next year so I can get more! :)
