Default What is wrong with my Encete maurelli?

I am so grateful for the advice I've been getting from the experts on this forum! One last question and I'll quit being a pest . . . at least for a while :-)
I have two Ensete Maurelli plants that I purchased from big box stores. [IMG][/IMG]Both are planted in part sun/part shade and get most mid-day sun.
Both develop brown edges and the lower leaves curl up and die; the cigar leaves have spots along the edges almost as soon as they unfurl. I tried Sevin dust and --after one developed holes in the leaves--slug/snail bait.
I'm in Zone 8b, outside of Houston, and it is very hot and humid here, especially right now. Please take a look at my pictures and tell me what you think the problem is . . . I'm totally stumped!
