Have you tried a south facing window? How long have you lived in Georgia? Have you tried setting them outside under a tree or in the shade?

In the spot where you had them, was the cold air from the AC blowing directly on them? I would think they should be fine with the temperatures, but some having the air blowing directly onto them might not be good for some plants. The AC also reduces the humidity indoors so maybe that's part of the problem.

Plants do need to be allowed to acclimate themselves to a particular area. Each time you move the plant, it has to start over which causes the plant to become more stressed. And, as ecrane said, be sure you don't have the plants sitting where the cold air is blowing directly on them.

I HAVE BEEN IN GA. FOR A YEAR NOW. SOME OF THEM WERE OUTSIDE FOR MAY , JUNE THEN WE HAD OUR LAWN REPLACED AND A SHOP BUILT SO I BROUGHT THEM IN. I TRY TO MOVE THEM AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AS I SAID I HAVE HAD PLANTS FOR YRS. THERE IS NOTHING SUCH AS COLD IAR BLOWING ON THEM. I DONT KNOW THEY ARE IN GOOD SOIL WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT BUG FREE. IF U CAN BELIEVE THAT. I HAVE SOME PLANTS FROM A COLLECTION THAT HAVE BEEN HIT THE HARDEST. IALMOST CANT WAIT FOR COOLER WEATHER SO I CAN REST.lol. THANKYOU ALL FOR REPLYING I GUESS I AM A NORTHEN PLANT GIRL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOUTH GARDING

Maybe if you posted some pics of the ones that are suffering someone would have some other ideas, or at least give more of a description of what the symptoms are that you're seeing when they're unhappy.
