My plumaria's overwintered inside and were doing very well with significnat new growth after dropping leaves in the fall. Recently they began getting pale yellow spots on the tops of the leaves with nothing underneath.
I moved them outside last week and now one of then is dropping leaves as if it were going dormant. Am I overwatering? They're in cloth pots so i would think drainage would be good.
Any ideas?

The top leaf looks like partly sunburned, did you slowly acclimate it from being moved indoors to direct sun?

The second leaf looks like it got attacked by spider mites. You probably need to remove damaged leaves and allow it to grow fresh leaves.
