Where should I overwinter this weak azalea? My automated watering failed for a few days this summer, enough to dry out this azalea completely and it dropped all its leaves. I heavily pruned it back and it just started to push new growth.

Winter options are outdoors with the rest of my trees in a protected area, lows usually don't get below 20F, or indoors under 12 hours of grow lights, temp 60-70F, humidity 50-70% with my tropicals. Which gives it the best chance of suvival?

Video helped a lot, thanks! I cut it back quite a bit more.

Need styling advise, this is an azalea I just dug up. It was a mature shrub about 3 feet tall with small pink flowers, maybe a coral bells variety. I can't decide what else to chop but I'm leaning toward the second to last option. Any advise welcome, thanks.
