That's the question I'll ask growers when I see that they are allowing their violets to sit in a dish of water. The question usually draws an odd look from the plants owner and I'll say, "It looks like you're giving it a bath so it must be Saturday!"
It's perfectly okay to water your plants from the bottom in a saucer - just don't let them sit in it! If you set a violet that is need of a drink in a dish of tepid water, the soil mass in the pot will hydrate within 10 minutes. So any water remaining in the dish after 10 minutes should be discarded.
