We have several well established hibiscus plants around our yard. Some of the plants' leaves are turning yellow and falling, to an extent we have not seen before. Could you please give us some advice as to how to proceed? The other plants in our yard are doing fine. Also, we have a yard maintenance company that sprays and fertilizes the plants.

While this article is on yellow leaves, the reason for leaf drop is normally the same as what causes the leaves to turn yellow right before the leaves fall off. Most of the time, the hibiscus recovers just fine.

We just bought a home that has about 12 Hibiscus plants. They were very healthy when we moved in August. Now one plant has died and the others are looking very sickly, leaves turning yellow and deteriorating quickly. There are some holes in some of the leaves like something is eating on them but never see anything on them. Any idea on what is causing this and what I should do to correct the issue before they all die?
There may be a pest problem. Check the plants closely as some pests can be small. Treating them wtih neem oil often helps. It's safe for eliminating most insect pests and is a great fungicide as well.

Are hibiscus plants poisonous to animals?
It is poisonous to some animals, but is not lethal. It normally will make animals that are affected by it sick to their stomachs.
Our neighbor has hibiscus plants and the leaves have developed this white fur. What is it?
It sounds like a fungus. They can treat the plant with a fungicide and that will get rid of it. Improving airflow around the plant will stop it from coming back.
My hibiscus looks healthy, but there are no flowers coming anymore because when the bud is very near to open, it falls like it was cut with a perfect saw cut. I have seen some leaves with round holes (as eaten), and I noticed an insect with round, roughly shape brown color. What I can do to restore the capability to have flowers and kill the insects?
Try neem oil. It's good for many types of insect pests. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
My Hibiscus blossoms (now wintering indoors) have black little dots on them. Are these little dots the sign of a spider or bug? The blossoms still bloom into the full flower and it's obvious that the tree is getting ready to go into dormacy soon, but I'm wondering about those little black dots - I've looked at them, they don't move or anything.
They are either the pests themselves, like scale, or damage from the pests. Many pests that can affect hibiscus do not move much once attached to the plant. Before bring it indoors for its dormant period, spray it down with jets of water to knock off as many as the pests as you can and then treat the plant with a pesticide. An organic or chemical pesticide will work, which you use is up to you. This will help keep the pests from spreading to your other plants indoors.
