First timer - need help with drooping leaves

[Redryder]

Hi, I bought an orchid from a nursery 2 weeks ago. I don't know the scientific name, the place didn't label them.

This is how it looked the day I bought it.


The guy at the store told me to mist it everyday. I live near the equator so the climate is warm and humid. I hung it where there was light but not direct sunlight.

After a week I noticed that the leaves were drooping.


I did some googling and wondered perhaps I was overwatering the plant since the roots were greenish brown, although there are white colored roots at the bottom near the leaves. In any case I stopped watering it for a week but there's been no change. Leaves are looking leathery as well.



Any help would be much appreciated!
