Debbie because of the temps in my laundry room none of my tropicals go dormant. They slow down but do not go dormant. At the temperature of my laundry room it is like a warm spring type weather so everything needs just a little moisture to not dry out and they still grow a leaf or two during the winter. I leave the lights on in the room 24/7 and there is a little light that comes through the windows.
I do not put my tropicals to sleep because I like a earlier full plant when I put them put vs starting from the beginning. My plants are full by June doing the semi-dormant growing method. My Brugs use to start blooming late June early July vs Aug or Sept. My growing season is short enough I want everything if full swing as early as possible. .
