They left their plants out all winter...we have a wholesaler from FL and he tells us about how the nearly dead 'houseplants' he takes home and landscapes with...makes me drool just thinking of it.

Repotting plants can cause them to be stressed, meaning that you have introduced a new soil mix, even if it maybe the exact same type of soil you buy every single time, the minerals that used to be in it when you first potted the plant have been used by the plant so new minerals are now in its soil. It is essentially in shock. This could also be due in part to the trip home, how gentle you were in repotting it, or how un-gentle you were in repotting it, you could have over watered it trying to be a good plant parent or under watered it for the same reason.
Temperature could also be playing a role in your plants unhappiness. Perhaps your home is 5 or 10 degrees off from where you purchased it. You and I can just put on or take off another shirt, your plant cannot.

In the end, give your new plant the best living situation possible for that kind of plant and just let it rest. It surely, with good care, will come around and be just fine in a few weeks.

Good Luck =]
