SunnyAre they insects or a fungus appearance? It could be powdery mildew, a form of fungus.

Powdery mildew and mold are both fungi. - Treat with a fungicide spray. - Let the soil dry out more between watering. - Avoid wetting the leaves or letting water sit on the leaves since the water droplets can help mold grow. Bottom watering is very effective to wet the soil without wetting leaves or stems. - Ensure there is good sir circulation to help the soil, leaves and stems dry more quickly. - Check the humidity levels. Too high of a humidity can slow the photosynthesis process where the plant releases water vapor through the leaves (transpiration). It also slows the drying process of the soil and plant. - Give it full sun and diluted fertilizer. Both help hibiscus to thrive. 🍀🪴

I agree with Sunny’s comments above. I would also remove any dead or crispy foliage.
