Yet another question - after moving the small plant inside and spraying it with a soapy solution for mites, etc., I have noticed some fine fungal growth on the top of the soil, which of course isn't unexpected. Just wondering what you all might recommend for dealing with it? Should i replace the soil completely and dip the roots, should i use some sort of antifungal solution/spray, other?

I did spray one small corner of the soil surface with a 10% NaClO solution (1 part laundry bleach and 9 parts water) just to see what might happen

It is separated from my other plants, so I don't think there is much worry about cross contamination.

Again, thank you very much for the assistance.
