You really need to be careful using fertigation. Over-fertilized plants become weak plants. I have seen it in a few Dosatron gardens. The first few years plants grow fast and green but over time they weaken. I have seen new frond just flop over from this.

I don;t fertilize any more than usual just a little bit over a longer period of time and a lot easier, i don't ever water over head so i would have to wait for rains to dissolve any fertilizer placed on ground next to palms, but only time will tell, hopefully it will be for the best, thanks for the info
