Attached is a picture of one of my plumerias. Three of its four branches are starting to look shrivelled, as if the plant is drying out too much. I have two plumerias, both of which are dormant in the garage. The branches on the other plant still look normal and there is one branch on this plant that still looks OK. I don't see any signs of rot anywhere on the plant and the ends are still alive and green. Will it perk back up once it gets some water?

This is my first year overwintering plumerias and I'm not sure exactly when/how to bring them out of dormancy. It's been unusuall warm here the past two days (highs around 80/lows around 50) so I think the plants could go outside. But, later this week it's supposed to return to near-normal temps (60/40) and I think that will be too cold them. Would it be OK to leave them outside when its' warm and then take them back indoors at night?
