I have many yellow leaves on my Belle du Jour. What can it be? I noticed tiny bugs while using a magnifying glass, on the underside of the leaves of some other hibiscus that I have, so I sprayed everyone. Actually I saturated every single inch nook and cranny on every plant I have 3 days ago with Bayer Rose & Flower insect killer. They all have been sprayed with this a bunch of times, as well as Neem so I don't understand how they are not protected. After I sprayed them, I let them dry, and the next day I blasted them all with the hose, top to bottom. Could this just be left over spider mite damage that will right itself? Should I now spray with Neem? I also have yellow leaves on my tiny Gabriel. And some starting on my Cajun Blue. I shouldn't have any nutrient deficiency, I use exactly what HVH suggests. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??
Several photos to follow.

If you bought it from HVH - I'd suggest sending Charles or Cindy an e-mail with these pictures. Course if it's spider mites - it may take a while to recover. If the damage has been done by them and you've sprayed - you'll just have to wait for new growth. Once a leaf starts yellowing - it's pretty much history - so I remove the leaf completely. Typically I think the recommendation is the Bayer 3 in 1 spray. Be sure to spray the soil also and keep up the regimen of spraying every 7-10 days for at least a few weeks. By then you should start seeing new leaf growth. Good luck!
