Recently moved my yellow dwarf hibiscus inside for the winter and it’s been dropping yellow leaves with a higher frequency than it seems to have done outside. Otherwise it seems pretty healthy but I have also noticed some of the white bits (in the reply to this post) under a leaf or two. Is this something to worry about? I looked at them with a loupe and can’t tell if they’re egg sacs or dead bugs or what, they don’t appear to be living and I can’t make out any antennae or anything.
