Need to ID plant
 
Hi. I was given a house plant but have no idea what it is called. I'd
appreciate someone ID'ing this plant for me so I can find proper care tips
for it. I've uploaded three different images of it (from far away to close
up) to my webpage. Many thanks!

You have a Polyscias, possibly P. balfouriana. Unfortunately, they are really
conservatory plants. Doesn't need a lot of light, but in the winter your house
may not be warm or humid enough. Watch out for spider mites and all the other
ills typical of the English ivy family.

Thank you, Iris. After a bit of browsing, it looks like my plant is
Polyscias fruticosa (Ming Aralia).
