Well, I guess if you have a bunch, or not enough window space for them, making them dormant is the wiser choice. That's something I didn't try. 8 hours a day of low light intensity with no window light in my bedroom wasn't too successful for me. But they did live to have a head start come spring, though they were heavily pruned of dead branches by then. Prune once or prune many times as it dies back, same difference in the end.

So it's either dormant or active growing, in-between wasn't worth the effort and electricity.
