Lori, This is a new experience for me. I've never had one bloom before, nor had them in a flower pot. All of my old ones were in the rock garden years ago.
So here is the problem...I'm not comfortable to bring them into the house. You know how it is for transplant patients! However since they are small. (there are 3 varieties) I'm thinking of purchasing some new clean indoor potting soil, and getting a clean pot and giving it a try.

Ugh, I know our problem of houseplants. I still have a couple in the house I can’t bare to part with. I wear a mask, water them at night right before bed.
I wonder if you can buy sterilized soil? Maybe @sueinmn would know? A while back I was reading about sterilizing soil in the microwave or oven. But we shouldn’t really be in the house during either of those operations. And I’d worry about the fan in the microwave releasing any fungus or contaminates making them airborne.
Could you wear a mask or have your husband pot the plant outdoors, water it and then bring it in the house? That might help avoid any issues.
