The new leaves coming in seem way weaker and lighter in color than the rest of the plant. How can I get the regrowth healthier?

The leaves are supposed to be lighter then the rest of the plant as they mature the color darkens and they harden

This is how mine grows as well. I recommend pruning regularly and sticking the cuts back into the soil to help the plant grow fuller.
