Less watering is better than over watering. The single most killer of house
plants is over watering. I always water from the top, unless, as you said, it
is an African violet (which I gave up on).

How should one water an African violet?

I bought my first recently, and I've only been watering on top, taking
care not to wet the leaves. I bought it from Franks, and it came in
a plastic container with no holes in the bottom. Should it be
transplanted?

It seems to be thriving -- the flower stems are about 3" tall now.
