I have an othonna herrei, dioscoria hemicrypta, albuca spiralis, and albuca concordiana that I had to relocate indoors in a war against the birds. I know these are mostly winter growers but indoors the temps aren't expected to fluctuate much?
How do I go about signaling natural cycles for them? I have a stephania erecta that I woke by steeping it in water for a day, will that work with any of these guys?

albuca is difficult to keep indoors, they need very bright direct sun to get maximum curliness. it won’t go into dormancy by itself, and rather being temperature sensitive, they go into dormancy when watering dies down.
at the beginning of spring when temps get higher than 60° F i will stop watering, then give it a tiny little spray of water every 2-3 weeks so it doesn’t desiccate. they tend to get scraggly when they don’t go into complete dormancy.
unfortunately i have no experience with the other genera, i hope you find the help you’re looking for !
