Identifying a Houseplant? (Ficus)

Identifying a Houseplant - thick stemmed plant with thin branches with shiny green leavesMy hubby bought this at Walmart. Anyone know what plant this is? It is obviously not doing well, but I don't even know what it is so I'm not sure how to care for it.

It looks like a pothos. Water deeply once a week and give it light

It looks like a bonsai ficus.

Check it against this photo:

If it matches in person, it will like lots of water and sun.

You can save it easily!

Hi,

The leaves look like a coffee plant but I think it might be the ficus mentioned before.

Blessings,

Robyn

Definitely a bonsai and probably a ficus fig tree.
Bonsai plants are not easy to keep as bonsai unless you learn how to trim the branches, how to trim the roots and how to shape them.

Most will grow into regular plants but there are ways to keep them as smaller plants.
The site Pghgirl gave has very good care instructions but I believe that pruning is the most difficult part of caring for a bonsai plant.

Maybe this site can help you with caring for your slightly sick plant as well as pruning tips:
