Why is my Venus fly trap getting smaller?

My Venus fly trap keeps growing less and less although she's blooming right now. She was doing fine until winter, and I haven’t changed anything about location. She gets plenty of sun and I water her regularly. What can I do to help her grow bigger again? #VenusFlyTrap

@LadyCeline Hi Celine! My carnivorous plants have to have A LOT of humidity‼️ if you don’t have a humidifier close by that is what I would do to help it if it were my plant😊 that seems to be all it is lacking if it was doing well in that spot before! Keeping is posted! Good luck β€ΌοΈπŸ˜ŠπŸͺ΄
The flowering requires energy and the plant isn’t growing because of that. You can cut off the flower stems and propagate them. The mother plant should start growing more after the flower stalks are removed.
