Hi,

My office has this plant that I am interested in buying for my home. Can you help me identify the name of it?

Thank you,

Long

Reminds me of a ficus. Generally silkus ficus, and very common to office areas. Not sure completely though, so take this with a tablespoon of salt.

At first, I thought they were fake plants. But when I pulled a leave and tear it in half, I can see liquid at the break. So it's definitely a real plant.

Yep, definitely a ficus. My step-dad has a lovely old weeping fig in his kitchen, they're such elegant plants :)

That type of Ficus seems to thrive on neglect. If you get one, do not fertilize it. Starve it for water. Keep it out of adequate sunlight. If you give this tree ideal growing conditions, it will take over your house. I speak from experience. :(
