Buxus
Boxwood.
Welcome to the Nut house.

Sure does look like a boxwood. Could it also be an Orange Jasmine (murraya paniculata)?

 

[sorce]

Aye, boxwood would be too easy!

Bud close-ups! More pics!

[Mangosteen]

Hahah thanks guy, for your welcome and your help

More pics below!

I have a closed pot for it. No drain holes. Is that okey? Also, not sure how to keep it happy.. it is losing leaves and looking abit sad atm...

 

[sorce]

Wow those are GIANT ass "boxwood" leaves!
Damn!

It needs drainage!

I think it's a ........Mango!

No it is not ok. It has to be well draining and it needs to be outside.

Not without knowing location and species

Not without knowing location and species

Very true. This is assuming it is a boxwood which hasn't clearly been determined.

Come on people just help the OP. It is a ficus of course.

Ficus does not like draft
Ficus does not like changes in environment
Ficus does not like wet feet
Ficus does not like dry feet
Ficus does not like dry air
Ficus does not like the cold

Think: Warm tropical conditions. Lots of sun. water in balance with the temperature and sun.

Right now I would think it is responding to being moved and the soil looks a little dry.
Only put it outside if termperature stay reliable over ~50F/10C

Ficus.

I was thinking a ficus as well, but not a ficus expert. Definitely not a boxwood though. Bark is way off, among other things.

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Leaves are way too big to be a boxwood. I also think ficus.

Maybe a Chinese Privet (Ligustrum lucidum)?

 

[Forsoothe!]

Maybe there's more than just coincidence here that the OP is named Mangosteen. MANGO steen, get it? Mangosteen bought a pig in a poke, and the tea doesn't taste right, so she's thinking she got something you're not supposed to get in a store. She's got the wrong kind of bush...

Theres a hundred ways to interpret that and maybe 4 of them are innocent enough.
