bird of paradise- leaves folded up for 2 months now..

I brought a regular ( not giant) BOP home from FL the day Charlie blew into town. That's been 8-9 weeks.

I put in in a pot and put it in my garden for a while (full sun) like it had in FL. and then brought the pot in before the first frost, where it sits by an East window. I've kept it moist. The plant is pot bound since I heard here it won't bloom unless pot bound. The leaves folded closed almost immediately after digging it up and have remained so. Is this normal?

Anyone have any tips on keeping as a happy houseplant, for 8 months of the year, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
