There is not much left from the original plant. You could fight spider mites for weeks trying to get them all. I would toss it, treat the floor area with insecticidal soap, wait for a couple of weeks and get another hibiscus, if you really like this type of hibiscus.

I really don’t want to lose them both but if it comes to it I will thank you 😊

I sprayed my majesty palm and money tree with a hose to remove them. You can also do it in a shower. Probably need to repeat once a week for a few cycles. I would also separate it from other plants.
