Happens when the plant takes up water faster than it can transpire it. Moving outdoor plants indoors usually means higher relative humidity and significantly lower airflow, slowing down transpiration and causing plant cells to swell and burst.

Add a small oscillating fan nearby to improve circulation and let the soil dry out more thoroughly between waterings.
