Lookls like a Chrysalidocarpus Lutescens......aka Areca palm

Maybe repot it to a bigger pot.
Check the soil to see how dry it is..... if soil is dry to about 1 inch deep the give it a watering (dont over water it) and also mist the leaves with tepid water on a regular basis.

Place it in an area that is warm (15 degreec C plus) and gets natural light and brightness but dont place it in direct sunlight.

A few usefull tips with pics here.

I was in Ikea and the plants are currently heavily discounted, might be worth heading there sooner than later
