African Violets and Gesneriads: Leaf support rings?, 1 by glamourpuss

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of violets that have droopy bottom leaves. What causes this? Where the plant touches the pot is even looks to be rotting in that spot. Today I took off those leaves and tossed them but I think maybe I need those leaf support rings.
Has anyone made their own rings out of something? I'm always looking for thrifty alteratives and reusing items if I can. (Plus I'm cheap and want to spend all of my money on the flowers themselves)
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sue
