Re: Need help for my hibiscus plant
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.

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..
