I think the weird weather may just be disrupting them. I have three varieties; one produced flower buds in April but it took a long time for them to bloom and a bunch of them simply fell off without blooming. Eventually it bloomed in May. Now the fruits are 3-4 weeks from being fully ripe but a number of them are dropping already. Not sure why. My other two varieties haven't bloomed at all, but all of them have been growing a lot of new leaves/branches at a decent rate. So my guess is the weird hot winter and cool summer confused them. But I'm not sure.

Those scent cubes are just wax, scent & color. If I am to assume that the scent is used up, it's just wax & color, so I think it would be OK.

To get a shiny floor you have to PURCHASE shiny floor. Sorry but that's the way of it. You already admit you are over cleaning it just to make it look nicer. So you might as well go whole hog and add a temporary polish. Things like Rejuvenate or a polymere additive that is OK for vinyl/laminate is the way to go. The way you do this without wax build-up is: Strip the floor every time you want to add more shine. Yep. You guessed it. You will chemically/manually strip the polish off every 3-6 months and then add more once the floor is dry. This is the single possible way to add shine without adding layers of polish residue. Once you have lived with your 'polish', 'strip', 'polish', 'strip program for a year or two (should be 3-4 polish-strip-polish actions) you can then start saving for a floor that has a gloss level you can live with. Sorry but this is the only way to get a shiny floor - purchase a new floor that has a shine to it.
