I have had these for over 2 years, one I actually gifted to my close friend. They have both been happy and flowering and then something changed and they are now dying 🙁
I really want to save them! I repotted them a few months ago in to a slightly larger pot because they were both doing well and getting bigger. I have used soil especially for African violets and placed them near a window that gets good daylight but not direct sun. What do I do??

Hate to say it, but they look totally dead. Could be any number of things, but a likely culprit is if it got too cold in that room over the winter if you ever opened that window and they got too cold or you left with the heat turned down too low for any period of time. Over or under watering is another likely problem, or watering them on the crown causing them to rot….. Either way, I’m very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like they are gone.
Sorry they are gone. Your soil looks more like an Aroid mix, lots of bark. African violets like airy but soft soil( peat-base/coir) with added perlite.They have fine roots. African violets will be out for sale most on garden centers this Spring. Give yourself a fresh start. Goodluck!
