Tim,

I think that you waited too long to dig your plants.  I have had the same 
problem.  Houseplants that spent the summer outside were transplanted back in 
early September and allowed to spend an additional amount of time outside, 
however, they were placed in hangers (to keep critters on the ground out of 
the pots) under a Red Bud tree.  This allowed the plants to re-adapte to 
lower light levels while still growing in high humidity.  All of those plants 
made the return trip into the house just fine.

I also had a number the hibiscus and passion flowers that were growing in the 
ground and in pots that I didn't get transplanted until a few weeks ago.  I 
was afraid it was too cold to leave them outside after I transplanted them, 
so I brought them directly into the house.  All of them have dropped "all" of 
their leaves and look very bad.  In fact I think that I may loose most of 
them.  Tough lesson to learn on my part.
