It is called a ginseng ficus. Those rocks on the top of the pot are likely glued in place- get those suckers off of there with a screwdriver or knife or whatever, pronto! They prevent you from being able to tell how moist your soil is. Also check if that pot has drainage holes in the bottom(I doubt it does). If not, find a way to make some or at least transplant your tree into a similar sized pot with drainage. Keep it in a brightly lit spot away from drafts and dont let it dry out, but don't keep it too soggy either!! We can get to styling later

South-facing window if you can. It should take a few inches in height in 2020, if not more.
