Hello!

What species do you have? I have S. sagittifolia, which can go dormant on
occasion. I have grown this plant for four years, and there seems to be no
pattern to its dormancy, which lasts a month or less. The plant does need
high humidity, but also needs moving air, like orchids. Without the air
movement, you will lose leaves and can get some rot, which can kill the
tuber.

This species also likes to be kept in the shade, with only indirect light,
which yields nice green leaves and lots of blooms. In brighter light the
leaves become pale and sickly white or yellow.

I hope this helps,

Christopher
