There are a few additional differences in Den-Phals and Nobile (not all Dens flowering on stems are Den-Phal - crossed with Den Phalaenopsis - but can be lumped together for most)

Nobile take much higher light levels even more than Vanda 8-10,000 is good for them (2500-4000) for other den types.

They can live in a range of 32 to 200 degree temperatures.

You must not fertilize after August or they do not flower. Never use slow release fertilizers on Nibbles or again the produce Keikis and no flowers.

And i do not let mine dry out although many references say to let them dry in the winter.

They only bloom once in the winter-spring while other dens can flower year round.
