My wife and I are trying to identify a plant we bought at Home Depot. No one there knew what it was and we are trying to determine watering schedules and exposure. Any help would be appreciated.

It is a Balfour Aralia. It has been pruned back, more like buck horned, drastically, probably because of hail, freeze or wind damage. Not a problem, it will grow back and be beautifull. Balfour Aralia prefer a warm room and will suffer if the temperature drops below 65º. They also require high humidity and need high light but not direct sunlight.
I doesn't have varigated leaves like the Balfour. The underside of the leaves are a dark purple reddish and no white on the leaves.
