Fukien tea with white spots and losing leaves? was created by Zac__50

Hi I just bought a Fukien on Saturday... Some of leaves are being dropped and their are white spots and the leaves. I called the store owner and he said the falling of leaves is natural when you change a tree's setting. Regarding the white dots he said those could be aphids and to make a mixture of vinegar, water, mouthwash, and a clove of garlic and rub it on the leaves and bark. I have done this once and nothing has changed... Is this the appropriate treatment?? I also read in some forums that the white dots could be natural, and others saying its a disease.. I will give you the pictures below. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!

these white dots are normal on this species. However, from what I can tell, this branch is not healthy. I am not convinced you have just the typical "moving blues"
