Hi everyone! So I got two African violets a little while ago and combined them into one pot seen below. (Picture 3 is a picture of what they looked like when I got them). A few weeks ago the pink one started losing its flowers but then made a recovery. The purple one has been consistently blooming but about a week ago I picked off its last dead flower and now there are no more blooms. I've waited but nothing seems to grow except these little brown nubs on top of the stem where the flower used to be ( pictured below as well). I tried clipping the tips of the stems and nothing seems to be working. I do see one flower blooming but no others. If I'm doing something wrong I'm sorry but these were my first ever real indoor flower/plant and I'm inexperienced. Anyways advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Two plants in one pot? They need to be separated. The pots should be about 1/2 the diameter of the plant.
Water from the bottom with a very small amount of liquid fertilizer got my plant back on the blooming tract.
Mine don’t bloom constantly. They take a break for varying amounts of time. That said, the pot should be half the width of the plant as said above. Too big a pot and the soil stays too wet and they die. Also, transplanting them while they’re actively flowering usually causes mine to take a break. Now that they’re not blooming you can put them in separate appropriate pots. Water them with AV fertilizer and they’ll rebloom. Do a little reading on AV care. You’ve got this!
