I agree with a separate basic culture sheets for dens, especially for the nobile type. I killed my first nobile because I didn't know it needed to rest & have very little water over the winter. Jerry Meola also has some interesting posts on the Yamamoto nobile dens. Like you and others have said before, important to know what type of dendrobium you need to care for.
