Hello 名媛直播empire forums!
Just got a new 名媛直播 tree as a housewarming present and I'm trying to determine what species I have so I can figure out how to take care of the little guy.
It came with a label saying it was podocarpus macrophyllus but I looked up the pictures on your site and google images and that species looks more like an evergreen with needles. I'm thinking I might have a Pomegranate (Punica granatum), Duranata (Duranta Excelsa) or maybe an Azalea.
My profile picture is my plant but I've attached it to the post as well.
The most identifying features I can see are the leaves seem to sprout in clumps (I suppose that would be opposite?) and they seem to not have any jaged edges along the edge of the leaf with the exception of the very end which has exactly 2 'juts' per leaf. The leaves also appear to have little white spots on them. The trunk looks quite knotted as well but other than that I can't see much else to describe. Feel free to ask any questions or request pictures from different angles.
Any help much appreciated!!! Thanks!

Carmona. Indeed it is not a Podocarpus.

Thanks!
I've been looking up how often to water and it seems like the fukien tea (Carmona) and it seems like this tree likes to be kept in a warm sunny spot and kept a bit dryer than most. Is that correct?

Constant warmth (no great temp variation) and humidity, good natural light, free draining soil and water as required.
