Did I put my plant in the pot the right way?

Question

I have some African Violets. I put soil in the pot half way, and then I put the plant in and put the rest of the soil to the top.(not all the way to the top) I just need to know because I am giving this as a gift.

Answer 1

The soil you added should not go above the level of the existing soil.  Water them from the bottom, water on leaves kills them.  

Answer 2

Do not cover the leaves, just under the base of the leaves are fine. Don't water the leaves either, that plant won't make it. Very sensitive plant.

Answer 3

that's perfect,just make sure you water,and drain it before you give it so it will not die..good luck..
