What plant is this?

Hi

Does anyone know what plant this is?

Thanks

looks like a rubber plant to me...ficus elastica?

Definitely not ficus. I think it could be a clusia.

Thank you both 😊

@ThomasHardyPerennial I agree it doesn't look quite right for a ficus, but what is it specifically that allows you to be so definite?

Ficus at that stage of growth holding its leaves pointing slightly upwards rather than horizontal, and ficus leaves having their widest point less than half way along the leaf, rather than at the mid point?

Hi Mere, I grow ficus elastica for a hobby the both the leaf shape and central stem doesn't look like ficus to me. The leaves are too fleshy, and the central stem would be darker. Also, unless you prune to a standard shape, leaves grow individually (I can see 4 leaves on the same stem higher up in op's photos). Two new leaves are growing at the top of the plant, which I also wouldn't expect in a ficus.

Specifically talking about ficus elastica, they have a pronounced rib on the underside of a leaf, and I can't see that in op's photos. I'm not an expert though, just like to grow them as a hobby. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terms. Happy to be corrected .

This plant seems to have opposite leaves (2 grow at the same time on opposite sides of the stem), whereas ficus elastica has alternate leaves (1 grows at a time, then the next further up and on the other side of the stem) - which makes it more likely to be clusia, although I'm not an expert on either

Thanks, @ThomasHardyPerennial and @tdm1
