Life after Hydroponics: How should I put a plant back into soil?

I have a plant that just isn't doing well in a hydroponic set up. I have tried everything and give up, I'd like to plant it into soil. What is the best way to do this without shocking the plant too much? Is there any particular soil that will make the transition easier?

The plant has probably been in a hydroponic container since it was a few rooted cuttings. It's a hoya, it was small when I got it( in the hydro container )and grew a bit initially, but has done nothing for years, even with fertilizer, good light etc- nothing seems to matter. It is one of those high priced hydro pots with the clay balls and built in thermometer and I would like to use the pot for another plant that will appreciate it!

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
