The leaves look healthy, other than the yellowness. At least I see no evidence of pest or disease. I have a suspicion it is a combination of heat and lack or enough watering to keep the media (at least) slightly moist. Without adequate water, the roots can't utilize fertilizer properly. Perhaps you can supply some shade between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM and increase the watering. Spraying the leaves in the early AM and possibly again in the late PM might help. At least, that's what I do now that we have such high heat indices every day.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
