hibiscus leaves bubbling and curling

10 years ago

I purchased 5 small hibiscus plants from a company at the beginning of the summer. At first they did ok then the new leaves started curling and bubbling. Now most of the leaves are all bubbled and distorted. I have sprayed with Bayer 3:1 and also have tried Bonide insecticide. Any suggestions on what this is and how to fix it? Thanks so much!
