Meyer lemon

First photo was taken April 13. Other two today 7/7

I planted this guy in the ground ( very wet, but also very sunny climate) HPP Hawai’i. About a mile from the ocean.
When it does rain for a week I’ll water deeply. Aged Chicken manure compost every 3 weeks. That’s about it. I spray neem oil maybe once a month.

It was a nice lush green then, All the new growth shot out the past 2 months, and she had maybe 30 flowers I was told to take off so it could focus on its roots( which I regret now) .. should I? I left two on, that are both growing pretty thick now. Then slowly over the coarse of the last few weeks this yellowing has really start to come on. Maybe it’s getting drowned out. Not sure. Thank you!

Orchid help!

Happy Tuesday folks.
I was gifted this orchid 4 months ago now. It has pretty much looked like this since I got it.

I’ve tried to try various amounts of sunlight..
it gets light mists from the rain maybe 3-4 times a week.
Not sure what to do!

Hey all,
Recently planted my Punakenikeni tree in ground.
It has been doing well and exhibiting new growth.

My two questions are

  1. is it way too close to that structure? Will I be looking at an ongoing problem cutting back, will the roots affect anything?

2 and secondly, I am impatient, anyone have a best guess on how long until I should be seeing potential flowers?
