How should I look after my streptocarpus in winter? They look very sad - browning or wilting leaves. How warm do they like it?

I keep mine away from radiators and on a east window sill. Water when soil is dry. It's very easy to overwater them. They will suffer if overwatered. The flowers will naturally die back. Last year I cut some of the leaves and placed them in compost. I am delighted that I must have at least 15 new plants :-) .
