    ..or to put it another way: when you keep them in a warm room you should also be giving them lots of light (like, artificial light on top of the bit of sun they get).
    Or put them somewhere cold-ish (so they go in a hibernation mode) with less light.

    Your pruning looks totally fine to me, could cut off even more if you wanted.

    1 month later. I've added an ikea plant bulb hooked up to a timer for a daily dose of sun.

    They are going rather well - infact 1 is trying to grow flowers - how would people deal with this? Simply cut back new branches until spring?

  • ..ha, nice - they look happy for under-desk plants : ]

    The thing with flowers, as far as my understanding goes, is just that the plant will put like 90% of energy into creating those (instead of building more branches, roots, etc.) - which actually may be just fine given your circumstances (it sounded like your idea is just to tide them over the winter until next spring / summer, not to grow huge plants under your desk).
    On the other hand plants will drop the flowers when they realize they don't get enough energy (from sun / from soil) to then grow the actual berries - so it might result in a wasted effort - but long story short I would just leave one or two flowers and cut off the rest if there's more..
