Hi Jacquie,

plant

Your plant is an Aralia,  Schefflera Elegantissima.

Here are some care tips:

Light: Aralia Plants can survive in low light conditions, but grow faster and produce more leaves in medium to bright indirect light.
Water: Too much water, resulting in root rot, is the main reason Aralia Plants die. Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering an Aralia Plant. In low light conditions, an Aralia Plant may need water as little as every 2-3 weeks.
Fertilizer: An Aralia Plant requires very little fertilizer. Feed an Aralia Plant every other month when it’s actively growing with a plant food high in nitrogen at 1/2 the recommended strength.
