    My mother who passed away kept this plant in the basement near the window-which always made me sad because it probably didn't get enough sunlight, but I've been too afraid to change it to upstairs without knowing what kind of plant it is to figure out it's needs.

    Any help would be appreciated & thanks!

    Looks like Schefflera arboricola, Umbrella Tree.

    You're welcome. By the way, from the appearance of the leaves it looks like the tree had a spider mite problem in the past.
