When I had a problem with dry leaves, it was spider mites. They are very
tiny and live on the undersides of the leaves (some books suggest using a
magnigying glass to look for them as they are so small). On my plants I
noticed very fine webs under some of the leaves as well.

This sounds promising. The book, that I have, shows that the damage
from spider mites look similar to the dry leaves that my plant has.
But I ruled that out because I could not see anything in the underside
of the dry leaves. I will double check on this one when I get back
home.

Thanks.

This website talks about it some more, however my leaves were much browner
(and drier) than the ones showed he
