Any citrus hobbyists? My Meyer lemon tree went through a very rough patch 6+ months ago (scale & fungus gnats due to bad soil and environment shock of replanting) I saw a horticulturalist who had me replant with Fox Farms Ocean Forest and a fertilizer. I moved the plant into a tent with a humidifier and grow light to create a healthy environment. It turned around and was looking better and better with around 3 flowering/blooming cycles but it’s not grown new leaves and now this branch seems to be dying off. I actively monitor for scale and I haven’t seen any signs of fungus gnats. Any thoughts on why the branch is dying? And not growing new leaves?

    It’s probably trying to conserve energy and is cutting that branch off. If I had this plant I’d probably pop those flowers off in the hopes that it would refocus on leaf regrowth and getting back to full health.
