My friend gave me this sprouted little plant because of roommate complications so i have the task of keeping it alive in a bathroom until i can move into my new house in a couple weeks







The little sprout made me happy and the next few days it grew but I noticed some little microscopic white worms/larve/bugs type things that were crawling about the soil. I looked around online and read somewhere to put a slice of potato on the soil to attract the bugs to distract them from screwing with the plant.

If anyone could tell me what they are and/or what to do about them?
(They were so small I couldnt even take pictures of them)



I was watering the plant once a day, is that good?

I am in the process of moving so my good light set up is in my new house and this little baby is in my old one.
I currently just have the plant right up under this desk lamp with a 60 watt fluorescent bulb on a timer for a 20/4 schedule and I know its probably not enough but its the best I can do for now.



I had the light too far away from the plant for a while and I think that it caused it to stretch out really tall and thin so I just poured more of the same soil mixture into the container to in effect shorten the length of the stem and put a plastic straw in the soil like a stake to support the plant. I also put this huge fan across the bathroom to make the stem stronger over time and to try and keep the heat down since I moved the light super close to the plant.







Please let me know what I can do to improve and dont worry I am moving it into a legitimate room to grow in two more weeks its just someone gave me the sprouted cup so I need to make it survive till then.
