Is that a colocasia? Not low maintenance plants. My first thought is more light. They also like high humidity and are sensitive to both over and under watering and fertilizing. They also don’t like drafts. Bit of a diva. ☺️

Looks like an Alocasia. It needs more light.  
How often are you watering and what does your substrate look like? Are you feeding it? Have you checked the roots?

Also plants grow in the environment they are put in so mabye give it some more room to spread its roots. A new pot could be a good idea!
