Susan, you have a great collection of streps. I'm envious of them. I got one in a trade and it didn't make it. I now have some growing from seeds. It will be a while before I see flowers. Yours are so beautiful.
I like the way you wicked your violets. How did you make the holes in the lids? Do the pots sit down a little in them? I have some NOID babies that I want to wick, but I'm not sure if I want to put them on top of containers or over a tray, like you have your streps. I'll have to go back and read all the stickies before I do anything. I'm still learning how to water and take care of the few I have. If I decide on wicking trays, I need to find out where to get them. My shelves are 36" wide. I wanted a larger one but didn't have the room for it.
