It's a Pachira macrocarpa...aka 'Money Tree'.

Will shed leaves without bright light, (no direct sun) can go quite dry between waterings (over-watering tends to kill them!)

A pretty easy plant to care for with proper light and not too much water.

Des, don't panic when the new leaves D-R-O-O-P! Nothing wrong w/it, they just do that! I was paranoid for a bit when I first got mine, then found on another thread that it's normal.

=) MKJ

p.s. Easy plant, by the way. Just not too much water, like Nan said. Hasn't brought me any money though....lol
