Default Broadleaf Houseplant Identification What is this?????

Hello,

We have a large houseplant that I need to identify. It is a
broadleaf species that has large leaves about 5-6 inches wide and 8-10
inches long. The plant has 5 stems from a central core at the soil
line. Leaves alternate on the stems and are shaped like a pear.
Beautiful green color. About 4 foot tall so far. Moderate growth rate.

I have a pic but nowhere to post it right now. If your interested
I can email to you.

Thanks,
Ed


It sounds like a Ficus lyrata, or Fiddle Leaf Fig. Just do a google search
and check the pictures.
