Den. Nobile ready for rest?

I would just continue allowing it to grow and mature. For some nobiles it could be a full year of growth before the leaves drop. Colder tempts will also make them drop off.
Last year mine bloom in sept after a 5days of cooler tempts down to the mid sixties, Normally it would have bloomed in spring, I also didn't hold any water or ferts back - just didn't think it would bloom at that time.

Don't forget older canes have the ability to rebloom.
Dens are funny lil buggers

This is very interesting, Lagoon. I've read that nobiles in s/h go on to succesfully bloom so long as fertilizing is withheld but I didn't know that continuous watering & fertilizing, would bring on these results. So, the only difference yours received was in the drop in temps? Live and learn....
