| Nobile Dens are about the hardiest plant you can grow.
They will do well from 32 degrees to 100. Mine get the extreme all the time. I grow all of them outdoors year round
They like as much sunlight as you can give them. I have grown them in full Florida sun (11,000 foot candles) without shade and they accepted it well. I have flowered them in my shade house under 65% sun screening also.
They only need about one month of cool under 50% nights in order to develop flower buds. It is not critical when the cool period happens. A late season cooling will just mean flowering later in the year.
Hawaii pre-chills Nobiles this month for flowers in November December when normally blooming is Jan to March in Hawaii and Feb to April in Florida.
Linda for you in Canada I recommend - the easiest care is to put them outside the first month that you can trust night temperatures to stay above freezing. Flowers should then come a couple of months later. The basement will work if you want flowers earlier, but give them as much light as you can. They can take full Canadian sun year round.
