any chance of pictures?

And please describe what the "mold" looks like. Color. Amount. Spots, dots or all over?

I was just outside looking at my Hibiscus plant again and the white stuff was very silky when I rub the leaf - don't know if that helps.

You could use a bottle of milk and water and spray on them to start, if now then check with your local extension agent.
