This is one of my favorite hoyas, Hoya Verticillata. I have about 6 of these in various sizes, shapes and degrees of splashyness. They are low maintenance plants given good lighting, a pot with good drainage and regular fertilizer. Three are shown. The splashes turn pink with sufficient light.

yes, came here to say the hoya in the main post looks like a parasitica/verticillata not an obovata! but they have similar care. assuming the glass vessel it’s in has no drainage, i would just be verrrry careful not to overwater, esp because the soil doesn’t seem very chunky.

Update: really noticed the Blk-ish spot on the center leaf \& litter left. 🙃🙃  
This is a learning process. I’m sure the glass would have been ok but we’re keeping happy \& healthy ones here. 🫰🏽🧡 appreciate the help!!!
