when otherwise healthy leaves just fall off, it's usually rot at the base of the leaf. or some type of chemical insult--al had some of his plants do that after the fire at his greenhouse; he figured it's the plant equivalent of smoke inhalation.

an underwatered plant will do the shrivel-up-and-die thing, not just come apart all at once.
