Subject: Growing VFT in the tropics: how?

Hi All,

I need any advice on how to grow VFT (from seeds) in the tropics.
This is some descriptions of my climate situation:

Country: Indonesia (South-East Asia)
Outdoor Temperatures : 68 F (early morning and the night), 81 F
(daytime)
Indoor Temperature: 75,2 F
Humidity: Always very high ( more than 75%)
Soil: Peatmoss and Sand; A liitle bit Acidic (low pH)
Water: From the mountain river
Type of seasons: dry season and rainy season. No winter, no frost.

My questions are:

1. Do I still have to provide a dormancy period for my VFT? 2. Since I
can not provide a natural dormancy period for my VFT, what should I do?
Should I give up? 3. Can I use peatmoss, enriched with some mineral
elements (N, P, K, etc)?
