How do you rejuvenate African violets?

Remove the plant from the pot and check the roots for rot (brown – black soft roots). It is possible for plants to grow new roots. If a majority of the roots are still white or light-colored, prune off the rotted roots, and re-pot the plant in soil for African violets in a container with several drainage holes.
