My monstera is sulking now the heating is on

Since the radiators went on, the edges of two leaves have gone brown and crispy, and growth has basically stopped. I moved it away from the radiator and grouped it with other plants to boost humidity, and I'm watering less because it dries out slower in low light. Is this just normal winter dormancy, or should I be doing more?
