I just sprayed my Hibiscus for the second time. I saw a few White fly's on it again.
Will do it one more time--about q week from yesterday.

For you "non-chemical" people---I used the concoction of:

2 parts Rubbing Alcohol + 1 Tbs. dish soap ("Joy"-- mix up well) + 5 parts water.
Mix all gently--and spray on leaves--especially the undersides.
Knocked all the White Flies right off. But since there may be some eggs
left in some nooks and crannies--I will spray my Hibiscus 3 times 5-6 days apart.

With the bit I had left--I walked over and sprayed down my Butterfly Bush--
as EVERY year--the Spider mites destroy it. Then it never blooms right.
looks all yukky...

Did you all catch the pictures I posted of the damage to the leaf undersides
in just about a week's time from me buying it ?

If not--here it is again. G.
