Don’t need to throw the whole thing away. How big is the plant? It’s its little start pulling those suckers off and spray treat the plant with some homemade insecticide (water, soap, whatever recipe you prefer) one of my hibiscus trees that is over 5’ tall had them. It took a lot of manual labor to keep pulling them off but she’s all better now.
