Surviving hibiscus

This plant is around 20yo. I bought it when moved to this appartment. It was a single stick with a few leaves. This last winter, after an odd warm week, with warm winds it started to loose leaves. Every morning I collected yellow leaves, until the plant was almost naked. I told Delonix about and he told me that hibicus were very strong plants and warned me about the possibility of being some bugg. Observing closely I've found very tiny white flies on the tomatoes plants. Took everything and cleaned the pots and treated the plant with a smoke solution. Here is the result. It is coming back and have a few flowers. Thank you Delonix for the tip.

Alyena,
I'm so, so glad your Hibiscus has come back strong!
Bugs can be serious problems, even if you can't see them.

Stan,
I think it's a variegated H. schizopetalus.

Very nice. Has sort of Hibiscus schizopetalus look. Never seen that one.
