    I bought this plant at Lowe's a few months ago, transplanted it, and it's doing really well. Problem is, I have no idea what it is or how to best care for it. The sticker on the outside of the plastic pot said "indoor premium tropical." Not particularly helpful. It's about 3 feet tall with very thick woody stems. It was only $15 (a good buy) but I still want to take good care of it. Please help if you can. I've attached 3 pictures. The few crusty leave that you see were that way when I got it. There is new foliage coming in that looks really healthy.

    Looks like "dinner-plate aralia" - Polyscias scutellaria cv.
    I don't take credit for this ID... someone else just posted the same "premium tropical foliage" plant. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1297579/
