Well i would risk it, but i don't think they like their roots disturbing. The ones i've seen up here are always left untill the following year and not transplanted. good luck though. Sorry i can't be of more help.

plant them as soon as possible. make sure they have very good drainage, add grit or sand to the hole before you plant. they love poor dry soil. good luck

Yes get them outside, somewhere sheltered before colder weather sets in. They should have been outside this summer, too hot and dry inside, maybe that's why they are dropping their leaves.
