Normally that’s a light or water issue. You can try putting it outside in morning sun for a bit. Also change watering to distilled or rain water.

okay thank you :)

I’d say put a little plant light over it so it gets lots of light during the day. I worry that if you place it outside it might sunburn and shrivel! But distilled water is a must!!!

I remember once hearing they go dormant sometimes! I’d definitely look into that and see if it could be your plant

i’ll have a look into this!

Venus flytraps will go dormant for a period where they don’t put out new growth. Could just be that! Mine don’t grow over the winter, and just now started putting out new leaves again.  
If you have it in bright indirect light and always keep it moist (distilled water best), then it should be good!
