A Youtube search on white fly/pest control will steer you in a good direction.
Many videos offer very good practices/techniques to control pests on your tropicals.
Pick and choose what will work best for you.
Some even have product links.
Castile soap used as a sticker in conjunction with an insecticide of your choice offers a great inexpensive 1-2 punch.
A forum search will reveal a few good threads on the subject also.
