    They look pretty typical to me. These do like it not too wet in the rooting environment, if you are seeing a change maybe the soil has gotten a bit damp.

    If I water less, or fix it will the leaves turn back to being green?

    The ruddy color is a function of sun exposure and is normal.

    Thanks for the reply saltcedar.

    So normal as in this happens when it does not get enough sun? or the plant is supposed to be that color?

    Thanks

    It's the normal color of a pineapple in sun.
