My beloved children seem to be intent on turning me into a bonsai collector. They have, for the 3rd time, sent me a bonsai as a birthday gift, this time a huge azalea. It is beautiful and healthy (for now) and appears to be in bud, which would be all wrong for November in PA. For now I have it indoors. It has not bloomed, which leads me to believe that what look to me like buds are just new leaf growths.
What do I do with this?
Should I put this in the garage for the winter? I live in a townhouse and could place it on the deck, but I don't think that it would have much shelter there, although it would have lots of sun in the morning. And I am concerned that the pot might freeze and crack. If I do put it in the garage how often should I water it?
I really do not want to kill what is clearly a very expensive, not to mention beautiful gift. Please help.

Azaleas create their buds in late summer, for the year after. So it is normal that buds are visible.

I keep my azalea outside. But then again, I normally do not get temps below -5 - -10C. If temps drop lower, I would probably shelter them somewhat. But as they are green in winter, you cannot keep them for any extended period of time in the dark.

Thank you. I will put the plant outdoors in a corner of the deck. If the temp drops too close to freezing I will cover it with a few layers of towels and a box, especially at night.
I appreciate your help.
Any other comments would also be welcome.
