[INDOOR-GARDENING:294] Problem with my tropical plants

Hi,
My Gardenia, Jasmine, Plumbago and one of my Hibiscus all have problems with 
their leaves drying out and falling off for no good reason. I can't tell if 
spider mite was the problem, that was my hunch, and sprayed for them just in 
case. I took off all the dead foliage and trimmed back any bare branches, and 
the Plumbago looks much better. Still, I have so many plants, and haven't had 
this happen before, the leaves just turn brown and die for no reason! These 
plants will live, I think, I've really been fussing over them since 
discovering the problem. My apartment is really hot inside, and I wondered if 
that might be part of the problem. In the summer these plants are all out on 
my balcony, and grow so well. They hate it inside, even if they are next to  
a huge east-facing window, with supplementary grow lights on the other side 
of them. Do you have any ideas to what I might be doing wrong? 
							Thanks!
