What is this please?

Hi,

A friend has brought me a pot plant but I don't know what it is or how best to care for it.

I think it might be a European Verigated Dogwood, but that's just a guess from seeing a picture of one.

Attached is a picture, any advice is much appreciated.

Thank you. :-)

 

From what I can see in the photo it looks a bit like a ficus

 

Welcome to the forums Rachel.
Looks like Ficus benjamina variegata.

Yes, its Ficus Benjamina.

You will have to re-pot it at some stage, I have one that's almost 6ft tall!

Being a fig, they like to be starved and I water mine when I remember it.
They like sun, but not draughts and don't like being moved from site to site. So if you find a good spot for it, leave it there and pretty much ignore the fact it exists. Mine gets sun for a couple of hours a day, when it decides to shine and stands by a radiator.

If the leaves start to turn yellow, that's when it needs water.

Pictures attached. The smaller one is my mothers which I grew and she accidently snapped the top off, so it has self-bonsai'd.

Oh, by the way, mine is not the variegated version.
