Hi,
if I'm to speak from experience, then your nobile types should keep more foliage if you don't make the winter rest as severe as many sources advertise (water maybe once every 2 weeks in winter), but they really need about one month of significant day/night temperature drop to induce flowering. They should be OK outside as low as 4 Celsius, but not for extended periods of time. Here, in Canada I put my nobiles out end of May and bring them back inside when night temperatures fall below 10C- that can be even November sometimes. With this treatment I get flowers twice a year: sometime early winter and second time late spring. I hope this helps, enjoy the bloom
