Prita,
Soon as the Hoya lacunosa gets a bit more growth I'll root some for you.
I have the H.acetosella Red Shield, one of the few Hibiscus I grow. Never seems to be bothered by pests.
I dug up two huge Confederate roses last year that were loaded with blooms AND White flies that I couldn't get rid of, I got so mad one day I sprayed them down for the gazillionth ( lol sp?) then took a sheet and threw over each plant tied it at the bottom to keep as many of the little buggers from escaping then dug them up and took them to the burn pile and burned them. No more white fly problem.
