Bit of a late reply...I just got back from NYC.

The temps here were extremely hot (90s in my room since I have no AC ;_; ) so that probably helped speed up the rot. It's been around 60 at night...

I got them in March or April I think, but since then they have put out maybe one or two leaves. The mini violet is doing really well, but the standards are just in limbo. I repotted them in June in...

Well I haven't been fertilizing them much...maybe that would help them bounce back. I did just repot them so I figured they'd get enough nutrients from the new soil. Also, I have access to RO water...

The unit is roughly 3' from the floor to the topmost rack, and about 4' from the floor to the top bar where the lights are hanging from. There is another shelf I could add on, too.
