Tropical trees and dormancy

This may be a naive question, but do tropical tree's also go into a dormant period?

The reason I ask is that I have two indoor tropicals - a ficus and schefflera - that have been brought indoors for the winter. They are in a room where the temps stay pretty stable around 66 - 67F, humidity is between 40 and 50%, and light by a twin tube fluorescent light thats on for 16 hours a day.

There has been little growth on either plant . . . are they just "resting"?
