aroid dormancy

From: "russ armstrong" russ152 at hotmail.com> on 1999.09.29 at 02:07:28(3670) I am a newcomer to growing aroids, I grow them along with orchids and bromeliads in a large sunroom that is warm and humid all year long. I grow caladiums and I know they need a dormant period, and I was wondering if my alocasia x amazonica and my common variety elephant ears (don't know scientific name) need a dormant period also. I also bought some calla lillies and it says on the package to plant them in the fall to bloom the next spring. Is this absolutely necessary or can I plant them in my sunroom without a winter dormancy, and do they need a dormancy period also? Thank you in advance for any information you can send me.
