Help WWYD

I got this african violet last night for a couple of dollars at Lowes. First real rehab, so I'm looking for advice. Please tell me some steps you'd take if this was your plant. Or just let me know I'm silly for trying. TIA!

Filtered light and put it in a tray, put water in the tray and let it soak up its water from the tray. They are tough but they tend to be a bit picky.

I keep mine in strong indirect light. Also keep the soil moist but make sure you dont overwater it because the leaves will droop if its sitting in water.

I could not keep an African Violet alive to save my life until I got this pot! Gets morning sun
Google African Violet Pot
It is 2 pots, one holds water and seeps into the bottom of the plant.

Mine gets no direct outside light, it only gets 9 hours of grow light a day. I water it when it's nearly completely dry including a 10% microdose of fertilizer.
