Your temp sounds good. Put them in front of a south facing window - they need light! When I was in NC I used indoor plant lighting on a timer to give them what they and the orchids needed, and to keep the room warm overnight. I used to sleep at 68 degrees in those days. Now I live in So Fla and feel cold at 75. Have to put on sweats now and then - wife drives me nuts with her penchant for cold!!! Couldn't sleep with the Ae Ae on the nightstand anymore and had to find a warmer bolt hole for it.

Also, check for mites - use a eye loupe if you have to - 5x is good. My stressed naners always seemed to hatch a new crop of bugs right along with the drooping of the leaves in the wintertime.
