How to help dormant #Alocasia

I have a lot of #Alocasia and I feel like I’m really experiencing this for the first time. Almost all of them (especially my more established plants) look like absolute sh!t and I think they’re going dormant. How should I adjust care for them?
I’m cutting off dying leaves since those won’t recover. I’m noticing they don’t need water nearly as often. But what about lighting? Any other tips for how to help them through this. I feel like a nervous mom! πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ #AlocasiaAddicts #Dormancy #DormancyTips

When my Polly went dormant last year it scared the crap out of me! I didn't know they did that. It lost all its leaves save one and I didn't think it'd recover but thank God it did! Only thing I did differently was water less often which you're already doing.
Remove the dying leaves and you can water as usual. When the daylight gets longer it should come out of dormancy
My var. Frydek threw a fit when the weather changed! But the Batik right next to her has barely noticed 🀣 Xx
Alocasia go dormant? I never knew that. My silver dragon isn't doing much. Here's an image of it rn
