When I bought my hibiscus I repotted it completely in fine coconut bark. Little effort, no mess, absolutely no fertilizer!

Think they mean that you can repot your plant in some organic or fresh soil to rid of your bugs . Just a guess though

ahhaha ok sorry for that my brain is tired I've been playing enclosure switch all day lol,
anyone know if these little bugs will harm my cham they are only in the pot and not on the leaves where he ventures, just curious if they are actually an issue

I'd recommend getting rid of them... If it's White Flies they're a hassle.

They might be mealybugs, which are not good. Are you sure you can't get some pics of them? Do they look like this? http://www.cactus-art.biz/note-book/Dictionary/Dictionary_M/mealybug.jpg
