I just bought a tree at an HEB (a grocery store chain) for $7.99. The only problem is, I've just realized I have no idea to take care of it. The tag provides me no help, as it lists the item as a "10" Tropical Plant", when it's definitely taller than 10 inches.
The tree is about 4 and a half feet tall. I want to say it's a ficus, but when I looked that up, it turned out that's a fairly broad category. It does not have a solid trunk--it looks like the trunk is made up of several smaller twiggy vines. The leaves are broad and almond shaped.
So far, it's healthy, and I can surmise from the tag "tropical" that it would probably prefer warmer climate and/or more moisture.
Any help identifying this species? Or else, ideas for raising it?
Thank you.
