Default miltoniopsis in S/H?

I just recieved 2 miltoniopsis orchids in flower. I didn't do my research on these before buying. Now that I have them, I have to figure out how to get these to survive here in Texas without all the humidity they love. I am thinking maybe S/H would help. If I can get them to survive until the flowers die and new roots growing. They already have yellow leaves developing. I think maybe that is because of the shock of transport from wonderful Hawaii to here. I have had them just a week. What do you guys think of this?

These plants love s/h. Wait until they stop blooming and new growth appears (followed by new roots). New roots growing is the key to switching to s/h.

Thanks, Clint. I was thinking that would be a good way for them to grow. I have a Burr right now in flower that I am waiting on to drop flowers and start new root growth so I can convert to S/H.
