Prune back now or wait until next Spring?. I have about 8 in  our unheated  conservatory on a trolley( belonged to my Mum ) , only last week picked 3 flowers and put them in a vase to brighten up a corner. Now though I see there are only a few flowers coming which look quite spindles. Advice please.

    I often leave mine to flower through the mild start to winter because they give a splash of colour but if it gets very damp and they start to show mould I cut them back.

    I think Posy's right, V.girl.
    Once they get pretty dormant, don't over water either. Keep them just ticking over as they're better to be a bit dry than a bit wet. 
    You can often use the bits you've cut back as little cuttings too  :)
