Copernicia baileyana problem

Sudden shriveling.  This happened to another one that swiftly died. I'm hoping I can bring it back. I'm thinking I let it get just a little too dry (but maybe too wet?). I'm hoping I can bring this one back.

I wouldnt think to dry I would think to wet and to cold rot going on under the soil on the roots . 

I saturated it with 'Bee Safe' 3-in-1 fungicide)/miticide, hoping to control whatever root pathology might be happening. It doesn't really get cold where it is, a heated area. Thanks for the input Jubeaman, your advice has helped me with my copernicias so far.  Any other  suggestions to salvage it?

Honestly at that point usually when they look like that it’s beyond salvageable. I prefer to keep My potted copernicias on the dryer side .same with Coccothrinax or most Caribbean species . Heavy waterings with large gaps in between watering until they completely dry out

It got all shriveled and grey but I think it was a cold snap plus a little too much water (heater couldn't quite keep up from the Northside as my copernicias are getting the south-facing sun.

I almost tossed it because it looked totally dead, but kept it on the heat mat there was a tine section of  green and....it's making a nice comeback.
