Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have a Hibiscus plant (tree). I see very small white specks on the leaves. What are they? I only have the one plant and have kept it outside. Now as cooler weather approaches, can I bring it in with these white specks. Also, there are some small holes in the leaves of it.

The small white specks could be either powdery mildew fungus, a white scale insect (mealybug), or the shed skeletons of a small insect such as whiteflies or aphids. Try to treat or remove the pests before bringing it inside to protect your indoor plants. Here is more about these problems:
