    I just purchased this plant beacuse I like its unusual look. It did not have anything on the label to identify it other than "Plant of the Week". It is in a 1.3 L pot. Any help identifying it, and any additional information about re-potting, soil, light, water and other care would be most appreciated.

    Thanks

    I don't think it's Ficus benjamina, wrong leaf orientation and shape.
