well don't let it stay too wet there in the basement... more are lost to more moisture than drying up.. yes it will loose it's old leaves.. often they are overshadowed.. by new growth and fall off.. of are perhaps developed when the light conditions were orher than they now are .. they are dropped in favor of new growth..accustomed to the existing conditions.. so yes you'll loose them... assuming ou don't have an insect or mite condition.. which will also get them to be shed..
what light do they get in that basement.. if they are getting some sun.. or are beng given plant lighting.. you might feed them some along with the water.. more diluted than you might in the summer.. well if you've pot grown them.. bring the pot inside.. you can prune them.. to a more standard form.. [ which conserves space ] make new cuttings to be started through the winter..
post cutting give aways here.. if it's in thegroung you can dig it up anddo the same things with it.. after putting it in a pot.. pruning is a bit more necessary then.. to keep thetop growth in line with the ammount of roots left..
no it can't go int a garage unheated.. too cold where you are.. by far... do you know of the town Fayville,well as a resident there for two decades.. I can assure you you're too cold for anything but inside storage.. I bring mine inside thehouse with me here. now...as well as in an outside above freezing cool room..
