i don't know if this is appropriate to post pics here but I so want to learn what to do. All these african violets are sitting on top wicked but with no water in the reservoir because they won't dry up on the bottom of each pot.

The reservoirs have been empty for almost 2 days and the pots are still heavy to pick up which lets me know the roots are not getting enough air yet.

I moved the heaviest ones to this one gro light stand so I can watch carefully.
