Welcome Geri! There is a ton of info you need to read to address your problem. It is all here in the previous posts. When something is wick watered it needs a very light and porous soil for starters. Get a handle of some of the info and post back! Rosie

hi, geri...your plant is certainly unhappy!...i would repot now in very light soil (don't use miracle gro...too heavy)...i would use soil from ebay and look for hunter's wycked wicking soil...repot using that...probably i would put her into a self watering pot that would accommodate the roots...and probably smaller than it is in...the next thing i would do is take her out of her present pot and check her roots...if they are brown then take those off b/c they have rotted...don't be upset with taking those off, even if the plant doesn't have many left...i would remove all the yellow leaves and you will be left with a long neck...plant what's left after scratching the neck gently with your finger nail...water it and then put all of it in a plastic bag and wish her well...do not fill the self watering pot with water, as long as you water her thoroughly she may not need water for a month!....i would move her out of the south window, even with the balcony she may be getting too much light...i would move her to a north window until she shows some life...if she looks like she is just sitting there, she is probably busy growing roots...i would never put a violet in a window against the glass...it always surprises me how little light they actually need...you might want to read "you can grow african violets", something like that by joyce stork...also, join the facebook group of growing african violets for beginners...the last thing i would do at this time is to buy myself another african violet from the supermarket, or lowe's, home depot, etc...grow her in an east window all seasons...not against the glass...water from the top until the water runs out, but don't over water...if the soil feels wet on the top, don't water...if it is wet about 1 inch below the soil, don't water...and don't leave her sitting in water...keep us posted...hope this helps...this plant may not make it, but they are all a learning experience...good luck, sharon
