I've never tried it, but would suspect so.
I have a mat of them right outside my office window & have been growing the critters for several years.
They handle partial shade/subdued light very well (ever since we had to remove the "big trees" they were under they've been under shade cloth).
I just had a couple decide to grow an extra 4' tall but I understand that rarely happens.
They're otherwise seldom over 6' tall & would be easily manageable in a standard 8' room, even with a pot a couple feet deep.
I was supposed to send some pups to my niece outside Ft. Hood for indoor propagation, so yours won't be the only ones down there.
If you starve them they should go 2, maybe 3 years without fruiting, if all you're after is foliage.
Otherwise they make the best tostones I've had.
