Where did you live before? I grow Max. tenuifolia outside, where it definitely gets cold, I am sure a lot colder than your apartment (like close to freezing for a few hours on winter nights, gets rained on and watered) and it's fine. HOWEVER, it has been growing there for quite a few years, so is acclimated. If yours experienced a drastic temperature change, it may sulk for awhile, but will eventually adapt. Repotting just as it was being shocked might have caused some problems (in general, these really don't like their roots disturbed anyhow and could that could have set it back.) Again, I think "tincture of time" will be the cure. If you're keeping it a bit warmer now, that should help. Let the sphagnum get close to dry (not bone dry, but just barely damp) before watering again if it is cold. Just pamper it a bit (even if the light in your office isn't great, go for temperature) until you get past winter. Once things start to warm up a bit (I know in Seattle that's relative) it should start to be better able to make the adjustment.
