Dormant plant οΏΌ

Adopted this plant from Sprout in the hospital section. Was told the plant is dormant, what do I do to help this little one grow?
Except for watering it when I brought the fella home I’ve not done anything to the fella as yet. Any suggestions?
4ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
During the winter, this plant remains dormant. As temperatures rise and the climate warms, it will begin to grow. If you received it from the nursery as a dormant plant, keep it in a warm place and stop fertilizing. Reduce watering, but make sure the container doesn't dry out completely. When you see new growth in the spring, resume regular feeding and watering. Here’s a link on how to grow a dormant Alocasia: https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/houseplants/alocasia#
@HappyPlantBFF thank you 😊
@SMM good luck! It’s always so rewarding and exciting when the plant starts to grow.
Yes it is exciting 😁
