Ficus benjamina. Evergreen houseplant that needs good light to do well and minimum temps of about 10C and out of cold draughts.
I would be keen to lift that one out of its pot and check the roots in case it needs potting on and then I'd use a John Innes no 3 loam based compost rather than multi purpose. Water well before and after and then let it drain before putting it back in its cache-pot.
I have a variegated version which is now 2m tall. It goes outside on the terrace in summer but not in full sun because that burns the creamy bits of foliage. I no longer pot mine on but do give it a spring refresh on the top level of compost and I feed it from early spring to mid summer. When it's back indoors I stand it in teh shower once a month to clean any dust off the foliage.
