Ever since bringing this plant home the leaves have shrunk. What do I need to be feeding her? What is she missing? I’ll do anything to get the original leaves she came with.

Hard to say without knowing the conditions. But I’d suggest to check that it has the correct amount of light/sun, right soil mix, water and fertilizer.  
Also consider adding a moss pole so she can grow roots into it, that should help.

What kind of light would you say it is getting? Do you know what direction the window is facing?
