Drosera dormancy

I put a few weeks ago my capensis in the dormancy room (+- 15C) and it's
growing like a mad ! Just the same for my pulchella, well growing too...
I'm waiting for the gemmae ! Somebody told me they'll come in december.
My aliciae is growing slowly, my regia too, my magaliesberg seems to lose
his leaves but is apparently OK. Well, I'm wondering about the adaptation
for the drosera from the southern hemisphere. It's just the spring season
out there, not true ? For pulchella again, should I give him artificial
light in winter ? I'got a rotundifolia too : it's gone to dormancy by
forming his 'hibernex'. All these plants are living in the same
conditions, in the same room ! And you see the differences between their
evolution ! Any advice from other northern CPers about southern droseras ?
