Can anyone suggest anything that will help, or am I just wasting my time
here?

Your time is *that* valuable that asking a question is a major waste?
;-)

I would appreciate a reply or two, or three, or four etc.

You may not be aware, since you have posted through garden banter, that
you have found your way into a newsgroup, which is a group of gardeners
and other chatting about gardening. We are not a professional advice
bureau. Although some on the group are very knowledgeable about some
topics, we may not have anyone who knows about gerberas, or we may have
someone who does, but is doing something else this weekend. There's
nothing personal in the lack of replies.

FWIW, repotting a sick plant is usually a bad idea. Rather like forcing
a banquet on someone with gastric flu.
