As far as 28 degrees for five hours, that depends on not only the plant but where it is placed. A sudden drop may well kill a plant that a gradual drop would not.
If, a plant dies, there is a reason for it. Find the why. Unless it was unusual. Wise is not to make the same mistake twice and find a plant that can take what you have not what you wish you have.

I got several sub tropical plants that has survived every freeze in 8 years I been here. If the big enough the will just drop leaves or drop to ground and root bulb will pop back in spring.
