It is hard to say from this photo. It would be my guess that the watering habits weren't quite what they should be. It will be necessary to make sure that they dry out down at least 1/3 of the way into the container between waterings. Watering too much will cause disease, while underwatering will cause die off, as well.

Another thing to consider will be the amount of light that they receive. They cannot handle full sun, so they will need to be in a very shaded area.

In the meantime, these articles will help:
