| With most orchids the care of seedlings and that of mature plants is different.
Seedlings of all species can take less light and more water and fertilizer than a mature plant ready to flower.
Nobile seedlings can be fertilized regularily, with the reservation that all plants should get a little less as growing slows in the winter.
I would not reduce water on seedlings.
A 2 inch pot of a den is not far from flowering. Most dens flower at two years of age. Nobiles should easily flower within three.
