Kenyan Violet seems to not be doing well:(

I was gifted this violet about 3 months ago and she was doing great for awhile but just recently I noticed some of the flowers are shriveling up. I know these violets don’t like their leaves getting wet and I have always avoided doing so. Honestly I just downloaded this app for her, I was wondering if I should stick with Greg’s watering plan for awhile to see if she perks up or if there is something else I am missing?
0ft to light, indirect
5” pot with drainage

Hi Ryder!
Is it just the flowers shrivelling up? If so, that's normal. They bloom and fade and then more come along.

Greg is in learning mode when you first download it and makes adjustments to your watering schedule based on when you "water" and "snooze" so it's always good to check the soil moisture in the beginning to make sure Greg is getting the right info. I also find I need to adjust schedules during seasonal changes so I check the soil moisture every few months to make sure I'm still watering properly.
@PlantMompy Thanks for the fast reply I am happy to hear it is normal! It is just the flowers, the leaves seem to be doing just fine. Should I snip off the flowers that don’t look so good then?
Yes, you can snip them off!
