Dormancy: Oxalis & Caladium

To my fellow indoor gardeners,

I'm a relative novice, becoming interested in indoor gardening slightly less
than a year ago. I've learned a lot, through a combination of
trial-and-error, reading, and listening to more experienced plant people
(like those on this list), and now have close to 50 plants, including some
that I propagated from stem cuttings.

The topic of this query concerns my oxalis and my caladium -- plants that,
according to my books, are supposed to undergo dormant periods. About a
month ago it looked to me like both were finally starting to die down and go
dormant. However, both now seem to be shooting up new growth again!

What's going on? Was I supposed to stop watering them? Should I just let
them go on now?
