Hearts of Palm, your plant is Alocasia gageana. It is a dwarf grower that does not get dark green leaves. Yours looks to be in decent condition; the suggestions to add organic matter are good but make sure it is fully composted or else it will use up nitrogen in the soil as it decomposes. A light feed with Miracle Gro several times a week can help also. By "light" I mean 1 to 2 tsp per 5 gallons water, not the label rate.
