Regular deep watering in Summer is required to keep fronds looking their best and applications of potassium, manganese, and magnesium soil amendments as well as other trace elements are required to maintain health. In addition to their fertilizer requirements in your soil, they may also need to be treated with fungicide to prevent bud rot in the crown of the tree,,also if you have a sprinkler system in your yard and your palms and pineapple are getting water in the top center of the plant that will cause rot as well,,,I hope some of this helped -Take care-Jason.
Yes, it might have been the time of year that I moved them as well, in late Nov. early Dec. (can't remember exactly when I moved them)
