If its white bug then it must be mealy bug,I had the same problem with some of my hibiscus. They love hibiscus and will invade it if you don't watch your plants on weekly basis.

Tip from Izhar :
Izhar wrote:its normal for hibiscus.. for better blooming use DAP .. if in pot 12 granules per 12 inch pot every 15 days.. adjust according to pot size... in ground, handful per square meter every month...

Another MUST thing is to buy a general plant pesticide and spray your hibiscus every 15 days, whether you see bugs or not.. mealy bugs, scale insect and spider mites are serious threat for them..
