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! http://www.geocities.com/abs41/plant.html |

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.

A million years ago, when I had horticulture, this was called "Ming
Aralia" and the scientific name was _Polyscias fruticosa._ Looks like this is still the case. http://www.rhapisgardens.com/ming-aralias/ You'll want to make sure watering is just right--not too much or too little, and not salty (check your tap water!)
