Identification: What type of plant is this?

Hi,

I've had this plant for about 7 years, and it has survived two re-pottings. It seems to be growing new leaves that turn dull and dry looking within a few weeks of their growth. I can't remember the name of the plant, nor am I sure how to treat it. The older leaves are also turning dull and spotted.

Thank you!

Umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophylla)

Seems to be an octupus tree too.

This is my guess. In Queensland (Aust) it grows as a tree.

Pretty sure it's a "money tree", Pachira Aquatica.

 

I agree with Liz, Brassia actinophylla (or Schefflera).
