This is a rubber tree, and they’re pretty easy

Looks like a Ficus elastica tineke. Partial/indirect sun and well draining soil is ideal.

I have one, theyre so easy, i bottom water and use very diluted fertilizer in it every watering, aswell as give it plenty of light, but not directly in the sun, and if u want it to thrive, i noticed increasing humidity helps a lot ! Heres mine as a ref!
