Thanks

They're pretty...plants and I just are not very good friends...they don't want to live when it's up to me to take care of them

I don't have a green thumb...I openly admit and acknowledge that fact

Mine too. My cats seem to think chillis are delicious shortly followed by vomiting.

I want to try African Violets. Any pointers on how to take care of them successfully?

water them.

I actually had 2 of them...took me 3 years to kill it.
I only watered it once a month. If I'm correct, which is possible that I'm not, you water them sparingly, give them plenty of sunlight.

When mine looked bad I watered them. They did very well...well I should say until I stopped water them.

After skimming this, it's exactly what I did. link [www.gardenguides.com]

and I always watered the soil, not the actually flowers or leaves.

I read somewhere that they should be watered from the bottom, the water in a separate pot then the pot with the plant put down into that one, so the water doesn't touch the leaves.

seriously, it's not that hard. Give it a bit of sun and water it. just don't over water it. I think watered mine once a month and it did fine.
