could be that it is not humid enough for the plant. You could stand the pot in a tray of pebbles, keeping the waterlevel below the bottom of the pot so as not to waterlog the pot. Misting is also reccommended but I find it makes a muck of the window. The ohther thing that I have found is that a cold draught will make the buds drop or a sharp drop in nighttime temp.

Hope this helps

I found this website as well but its a bit heavy going
