Hi Chris. You should have no problem with the setup you describe in your garage. Be sure to water very sparingly to avoid rot. You should probably prepare to bring it in soon, depending on when you have 1st frosts. Don't want it to get fried.
You are aware that next year you should plant it outside, and if indeed its a basjoo it will come back each spring after the winter dieback.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
John F. Kennedy, September, 1960
