I did this, and i found a whole variety of bugs stuck to it after a few days!

However, the small winged bug continued to show itself on my baby. This morning when i went out to inspect her, i found over 20 of them on her, and could see larvae in the soil. Did a bit of research and it turns out they are fungus gnats.

My sources suggest that they will not harm a mature plant, and they didnt seem to be eating my plant. But i didnt really want a small bug defecating all over my 'erb, and enjoying her before i got a chance to. So today I went out and bought some bagged soil, and did a repot.

After carefully finding all the roots (incredibly deep!) and washing the soil off them. I placed her back into my new soil mix (includes perlite this time!).

I had to use a cane to support her as she was incredibly droopy for a few hours. I wont upset you by posting a picture of her when she looked as though she was about to die. But once she had recovered from the shock of being repotted, she looked as though she was enjoying the new soil.

And as you can see, i am continuing to take letseeya's advice. No more bugs gna be all over my plant!
