They are in believe so, the little green ones?

The flower looks damp because I just have it a wash. I live in a apartment so the only blast of water I can do is from the watering can. I guess maybe the shower.. if it comes down to it.

Use a hand misting device to spritz them while your fingers to squish them. I can't see the watering can method doing much good.

The aphids will always be back, that's just part of the reality of having hibiscus, inside or out. Just keep squishing and hope that they don't spread to other plants.

Thank you thank you for responding you two : )

If the plant is not too big to lift could you place it in a sink or bath and spray with the shower attachment? You'd need to tilt the pot or cover the soil, of course, to stop it washing out.

Excellent knockdown can be had by spritzing the bugly uggers with a mix of water and rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). I generally mix at 1:1 and spritz all surfaces of the plant. Works for mites, too.

Beckachelle, since you've had damage before with alcohol, just be sure to avoid the flowers and do not mix the alcohol with anything but water. I do urge you to try it....it works well for many kinds of plants, but not all. Hibiscus is a safe candidate.
