I want to know what is eating my hibiscus tree. It is a green worm like insect. It is eating the leaves. I have put soapy warm water on them and it does slow them down. I want to naturally get rid of them. Does anyone have any idea what they are and how can I get rid of them?

I had a problem for years with the green worms on my hiabiscus and I tried everything. Then last year I planted tomato plants next to the hibiscus and I planted marigolds under the bush and I have no more of these worms. So I feel the marigolds worked. So for everyone out there with the same problem you may want to plant marigolds under your bush. I hope this helps It did for me. lilac 10
Im gonna try planting marigolds under my hibiscus also! These green worms are destroying the entire plant. Makes me nuts!!! Lol
Did planting Marigolds really work?? I am so disgusted how these worms destroyed almost ALL the leaves! It happened quick too!! Just the other day they were looking bright an beautiful....
Thank you so much for the Marigold suggestion! Im trying it ASAP! This is my first ever Hibiscus and just about every single leaf is skeletal! I finally say these tiny, skinny, little light green worms, everywhere!!
I was wondering if anyone has ever used Food Grade Diamatacious Earth, sprinkled lightly over plants for these green worms??? The worms are destroying every single leaf, making it look like a skeleton. Also, saw a couple worms on the tops where the flowers are going to start blooming!! I have the Red and White Hibiscus Flowers, couple bloomed last year as Pink! They usually grown to about 6 ft. tall but for some reason the growth is stunted...Please help with these worms
Thank you I will try this
