African Violets

I am never lucky with these either , Waddy .
I was told that they should be kept in the bathroom .

I hope not, Driad. There's nowhere to put them in my bathroom. According to Bathgate they don't like being wet.

That's correct. The wetness will cause it to rot. Only wet the soil when watering/feeding. They prefer a dry arid location with bright indirect light. They are succulents.

That could be a clue !
