If you are on an apartment top the plants are probably getting sufficient
sun; however, you might consider checking your soil quality in the planters.
This is especially true if you are using potting soil which is often lacking
in nutrients and trace elements.  Other things to consider include drainage,
temperature, and sufficient space for root expansion.  I've found that a lot
of my plants in potting soil start to look extremely malnourished after a
few months in the same soil -- they could use some fertilizer.  Anyhow,
good luck and let us know how things turn out.
