Please Help!!
Hi plant lovers,

I bought this indoor plant/tree from IKEA 2 years ago. Never able to find what is it and means to take care of it. So far it has given new leaves and grown taller, but lately there are some ends of the leaves turning brown.

Can you please name it and tell me lil about it!!

Thanx a bunch!!

newbie

The leaves look like that of Canella winterana, Wild Cinnamon.

Re: Please Help!!
It might be root bound, have you tried switching it to a bigger pot?

Correction: The tree is more likely to be Cinnamomum kotoense, Canela. See this thread.
