Multiple problems ... not sure what to do to ...

18 years ago

Ok .. so I just bought a house about a month ago.

In the front yard there are three hibiscus plants.

The hibiscus' leaves were eaten by some insects. I sprayed them three times at 7 days interval. I also started fertilizing them with Miracle Grow.

However, the leaves are turning yellow. One plant in particular is very bad. I read through the posts on this website and I'm going to try water and vinegar solution ...

Some leaves are just plain yellow, but others have dark brown spots more visible on the back of the leaf. Also I noticed some very fine dark powdery like formation on the back of the leaves. Is it normal? Should I do something about it? Thanks
