    Hi,

    I need an ID on this plant. We've had it for a few months and it has been doing relatively fine. Recently, though, it's been losing some of its leaves.

    It's next to a window which receives some direct sunlight in the late afternoon. The window is also open frequently, so maybe the recent drop in temperature isn't doing it any favours. I water it 1-2x a week when the top inch or two of soil is dry. When watering I fill it up until water starts to come out the drainage hole in the bottom. I've been feeding it a small amount of plant food 1x a month.

    Any advice? Just the name of it would get me started, too. :)

    Cheers,
    Nigel

    To me as well. Those 3 prominent veins in the leaf seem diagnostic.

    Its diagnostic the same way that three leaflets is diagnostic of "poison ivy".

    The other leaf features are very different.

    The thread I referenced has been updated with information from the grower about that tree.
