Yes, and someone put it in the database, under the common name Cuban Laurel. Okay... but still, Ficus retusa.
And anyway, I hope it will get healthier under my care, though I'm not the greatest with houseplants.

that's great, Kyla! It looks a lot like the tree in Charlie Brown's Christmas!

That's right--like Linus said, 'all it needs is some love'.
