Hi,
As we know, indoor plants especially through the colder months need very little water. I water mine about twice a month maximum. If you have just recently started taking them outside this could be to blame as well. House plants abruptly moved outdoors will shed their leaves. This is due to a drastic change in environment. To ease the transition and lessen the shock to the plants, I start by opening the windows for a week or so in the room where I have them and then go to an increasing amount of time outside. Otherwise, just expect they will look crappy for a little while due to the shock but will not die. I have also found that many plants like smaller pots. I too made the mistake of putting mine in bigger pots. Where you have them, leave them but double check prior to transplanting about whether they like big or small pots. Hope some of this helps.
Best regards,
Dabney Walker
