| Nobile dens are the exception to the rule. They do not grow like other Dens.
You do not need to re-pot this one. There is plenty of room in the pot. None of the new flower canes will flower this year. The flowers will be on the old leafless canes. The new canes will flower the following year.
You can re-pot Nobiles in bloom without fear of losing the buds.
Nobile roots are usually very loose in the pot. Most are potted in coconut and the pieces even when new are soft and mushy. This is because the plant can take much greater amounts of water than other Dens. Nobile do very well in sphag as well. They do not get pot bound like other Dens.
I find it just about impossible to do anything to hurt a Nobile.
