Check the plant for any insects before you bring it indoors. You can easily remove any hitchhikers by hosing off the leaves and letting them dry. This is probably a good time to bring it in, when the night temps begin to drop below 50. Hopefully your basement isn't too warm - it should be 50 degrees F. or lower. Higher temperatures, as well as any light can cause the plant to break dormancy. The plants don't actually go completely dormant - water light just so the soil doesn't dry out totally.
