have you done anything differently? changed your watering schedule or not increased it since the plants got larger? are they sitting close to a heat source where they might be drying out more than in the summer? did you look for spider mites on the bottom sides of the leaves? have they been or do they need repotting?it might not hurt to give them some very dilute fertilizer if all of the above have been checked. really that should have been done in the summer when they should have been growing more with more light, but better late than never if they are still growing.
