[INDOOR-GARDENING:335] Re: Problem with my tropical plants

<< i,
 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!

Ditto for my gardenias, lemon and a few others.  I found no mites.  I tht it 
might be erratic watering.  I wld also like help with this as others show 
signs of it happening. Batya Levin, Bronx, NY
